Hello, is it possible to get a re-entry permit on the Covid extension in Bangkok? Current extension is valid until 21 July, a US passport.
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around the possibility of obtaining a re-entry permit while on a Covid extension of stay in Thailand. It is noted that the Covid Visa implies the holder is unable to travel due to Covid-19, and thus requesting a re-entry permit may contradict the reason for the visa. Additionally, commenters explain that a re-entry permit costs 1,000 THB for a single entry, but upon re-entry, one could receive a 45-day stamp free of charge. Therefore, acquiring a re-entry permit may be unnecessary and could result in additional costs for only a limited extension.

I'm going to close comments. IF the OP wants to message a moderate explaining why they want a re-entry permit on a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19, we'll reopen comments. Thank you

The purpose of the Covid Visa is "unable to travel due to Covid" so by you asking for a re-entry permit for it, you're saying that your reason for the visa is no longer valid.

I decided to let this post on to explain how visa exempts, extension of stays, and re-entry permits work.

A visa exempt is a 45 day stamp that people from certain countries receive when they enter Thailand without a visa. A person can get unlimited visa exempt stamps BY AIR, and I have seen no rejections since they reopened up the airports.

The 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 is an extension because a person is unable to travel back to their home country because of COVID-19.

A re-entry permit keeps your current "extension of stay" alive when you leave the country. A single entry reentry permit is 1K THB.

Assuming they would even sell you the re-entry permit, why would you want that? At most, you'd get another 27 days, at the cost of 1,000, OR you can get 45 days and pay NOTHING.

Doubtful. And what for? If you re-enter, you’d be stamped in for 45 days without visa and free of charge (surpassing your current extension date).
