TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired whether it's possible to obtain a re-entry permit at Samui Airport. Community responses clarified that while Samui is an international airport, re-entry permits cannot be issued there. Users were advised to visit the immigration office in Mae Nam for such permits. Updates in the discussion confirmed that individuals needing a re-entry permit should not count on being able to get one at the airport.

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.

No "I assume" please. It throws people off.

Ron Angel wow, now your carbon dating yourself. Lol

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 N Viscuso instead of picking fault why not attempt some help yourself? Other than that,It might be better to say nothing?

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.
David ********
Daily flights to Samui from KL, HK, Singapore & China.
Ron *******
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?
