Can I get a re-entry permit on a 30-day Visa Exemption extension in Thailand?
I am on a 30 Day Visa Exemption EXTENSION that was 1900 Baht. With this, am I able to receive a re-entry permit to leave and reenter the country within my stamped dates or no?
Answer summary
The original question asks whether it's possible to obtain a re-entry permit on a 30-day Visa Exemption extension. The consensus in the comments is that, while a re-entry permit can technically be purchased, it does not extend the stay in Thailand. Instead, upon re-entry, the traveler would only be allowed to stay until the original stamped date. Many commenters suggested that for shorter trips, it may be more beneficial to leave and return for a new 30-day exemption rather than buying a re-entry permit.

and while it might not make any sense to posters the O/P asked only IF they can get a re-entry permit on a 30 day visa exempt entry that has been extended for 30 days.
The answer is YES you can.
The answer is YES you can.

Why buy a re-entry permit on a 30 day? So you rather pay more money only to come back with 10 days remaining instead of just getting a fresh new 30 day stamp for free when you come back?
Norman ******
but why pay for reentry if u leave for a week, u get new 30 days upon arrivel anyway for free
Ron *******
Remember though, it doesn't extend the stay and only keeps your previous entry stamp alive to the original date
Ron *******
A reentry permit can be bought and used for any extension.

Gregor Huettner is correct. Nothing is guaranteed other than death and taxes 😳

i must apologize for my wrong info that a 30-day exempt extension could not receive a re.entry permit. Ron Angel has clarified it. However this does not mean that a re-entry into Thailand is guaranteed. As Austin T-rex Divine mentioned that he holds a history of those 30-days Exempts, any Immigration Officer at the border can deny entry upon his/her own consideration

+1 for Ron's advice. Others are wrong or gave you correct advice for a different visa.

OP@Ron ******
a lot of opposing information being thrown around in here 😂 but I hope you are correct! Appreciate itAustin ***************
OP@Ron ******
Thanks!Ron *******
Austin T-rex Divine yes. It doesn't extend your stay though. If you extended the visa exempt entry for 30 days for instance until say the 14th July, bought a reentry permit on say the 1st July and left the country. When you returned on say 5th July you will still only be stamped back in until the 14th July.

Is it your first 30 day stamp in your passport? If so, better not to.
If you just go out and come in you'll get another 30 days.

OPFar from my first that is why I ask, I do not want to get denied on the way back

there is no 30-day Tourist Visa. You have a 30-day Visa Exempt which you extended for another 30 days. For this you cannot get or use a re-entry permit. You'd rather receive a new 30-day Visa exempt upon entry (maximum two per year at land borders, and at airports an undefined number) "Undefined" means, if you already have a long history of entries they might refuse the next one
Norman ******
correct
Michael ********
If you need it, yes.

If he would need it depends on what country his passport is from.
Also his entry history could be a factor.
