I just got a COVID extension on my tourist visa until July 20. Is it possible to get reentry permit on this? My visa agent said it isn’t possible.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The general consensus in the discussion is that it is not possible to obtain a re-entry permit while under a COVID extension of a tourist visa in Thailand. Participants explain that the nature of this extension indicates that the holder is unable to travel, thus re-entry permits are typically not granted. Various opinions suggest that leaving the country would necessitate obtaining a new visa, as the COVID extension specifically prevents travel.

Covid extension means you are not able to leave Thailand so how can you get a re-entry permit? If you can leave Thailand it means you don't need covid extension.

It would be nice, but the whole point of "...cant travel because of covid visa" is that you cant travel.

Thai government (all governments) are goofy - not that goofy.

Where is the logic on getting a re-entry permit on a maximum 60 day extension, when if you leave the country, you re-enter on a 30-day visa exempt which can be extended a further 30 days? I can't see the logic

Why wouldn’t you just re-enter on a new visa (or possibly visa waiver)?

So what you will ask immigration is:- Hey I need to travel out of the country and travel back in, can I have an "unable to travel" reentry permit? Something not quite right about this 😆😆😆
