Unless your ticket was bought from Samui to your destination as a direct thru ticket you will have to check in separately at BKK anyway for the Euro leg. New rules introduced by BangkokAir whereby Samui - Bangkok tickets purchased as a separate transaction , means you can no longer clear immigration or put through luggage to Europe at Samui airport

Samui does have immigration for international flights. This I can confirm. However, I am not sure about re-entry permits at the airport.

You can get a re-entry permit from the Samui immigration office in Mae Nam.

Sorry if it came over wrong. My assume answer was to do with not knowing any international airport here that a reentry permit cannot be gained from. Immigration there issue visa on arrivals so it would be very strange for them not to offer a reentry permit? I actually took the time to look if it was indeed receiving international flights these days. The last time I flew in and out of there, it was a grass landing strip and the island had dirt roads.

Ron Angel I'm not an expert on this so I won't offer skeptical advice. People need solid absolute answers here. These are not "Where's the best hamburger in bkk" questions. They affect people's lives. Hope your assume answer on re-entry permit did not screw anyone up. Anyway dude it was not meant as a personal attack.

David Broadfoot I think this kind of forum is for the; "I know" people to respond to like Tod and Lloyd; Not the "I think", "maybe" "I assume" "I heard from someone" or "probably you can" people. Those words don't give people a warm and fuzzy feeling walking towards the immigration counter with just 500 baht in their pocket.

Is the airport on Samui an international one?

Unless I'm wrong the re-entry permit counters are only at international airports.

Daily flights to Samui from KL, HK, Singapore & China.

Just checked Tod and Samui Airport issues visas on arrival. In that case they must now accept international flights so I assume they would issue reentry permits?
