Can I obtain a re-entry permit at Suvarnabhumi Airport for my Non-O visa before leaving Thailand?
I need to leave Thailand and return in a month or two. I have a non o visa but no re-entry. Is it still possible to obtain the re-entry in suvarnabhumi Airport on departure? Anyone been there recently?
Answer summary
If you need to leave Thailand and return with a Non-O visa but don't currently have a re-entry permit, you can obtain one at Suvarnabhumi Airport before your departure. The re-entry permit desk is located after security, typically near the immigration counters, and is open 24/7, though staff may not always be present. The cost is 1,200 THB for a single entry and 4,000 THB for multiple entries. After obtaining your permit, you will need to go through the regular passport control process. It's advisable to arrive prepared and not rely solely on getting the re-entry permit at the airport, but many have confirmed that the process at Suvarnabhumi is straightforward.

I would go to your nearest immigration office ....in Thailand it’s always better to arrive at the departing airport with all your paperwork in order ....

Yes they are still available at the airport but you can also get one prior to avoid any stress but really you should be fine and it won't take long.

Yes but when you re enter have to follow the rules on the day.

Yes and nobody knows what the entry rules will be at that time. Just need my re-entry and prefer to do it at the airport instead of wasting time going to CW ;-) Edward ******

If you are on a Non-O retirement visa, be aware of that, as far as I know, in addition to testing, special flight, covered insurance, and quarantine, you must have general medical insurance for 400,000 baht impatient and 40,000 baht outpatient. It can be quite expensive and provides very little coverage. Hopefully that requirement will quietly disappear in a few months.

How long does a re entry permit last for. I return to UK next month to return in October. Unfortunately my Thai wife has to remain here.

@Ken *******
hi Ken i am planning to return to the uk next month for a few months, have you sorted out flights yet, such a limited choice ?Ken ********
@John ******
Yes, I was with Qatar but that would entail hotel quarantine costing £1750. I've booked with Swissair, Bangkok to Zurich then Manchester. Flight time from Chiang Mai to Bangkok now changed so I have a 12 hour wait in Bangkok airport. Best price was through Gotogate.Hope that helps.

@Ken *******
yes was looking at Swiss or lufthansa as you say can't transit through a red country so limits your choices 😳🙄😎Frédéric ******************
@Ken *******
The re-entry has the same validity date than your visa extension stamp.Ken ********
@Frédéric ****************
In my case that would be 60 days. Thank you.Frédéric ******************
@Ken *******
Sometime it is for good. You'll have an official address in Thailand without bothering for a resident permit.Ken ********
@Frédéric ****************
One thing I have learned during my time in Thailand is that nothing is simple or straightforward. Thanks again.Frédéric ******************
@Ken *******
Unlike in many countries, the yellow book and immigration are separate matters not linked to each other. Strangely, in Thailand we can be resident of a municipality without being resident in the country 😁Ken ********
@Frédéric ****************
I am married but not yet qualified for married status although I should have my yellow book before I leave.Frédéric ******************
@Ken *******
A re-entry would be useless in your case then. They are made for people who don't want to lose their acquired status, like 1 year marriage, business or retirement extensions.

I'm needing the same thing in a few days time. May I also ask, once I go through security and tell them I need a re-entry permit, where, exactly is that re-entry permit desk / booth situated? Is it where we would normally go through passport control? Do we go to the re-entry booth first, get stamped up and then rejoin the "normal" queue for passport control as usual to get your departure stamp? Or do you get the re-entry stamp and departure stamp at the re-entrey permit desk as well, at the same time and just walk through? Thanks!

@Allan ********
you can see when your there
Tod *********
re-entry permits are sold at Suvarnabhumi airport in Departure 2, tell the people when you go thru security you need a re-entry permit and they will get someone to staff the desk (it's open
The price for a re-entry permit is 1200baht for a single re-entry and 4000 for a multiple re-entry. Keep in mind a re-entry permit will get stamped back in until your current expiration date when you come back.
Look for that sign

Tod Daniels, thank you for the info. This year I chose not to get a multiple just my yearly "O"as we don't know if we can travel saving few bucks. Never done this before, If I am departing do I get and pay re-entry permit stamp prior to immigration inspection or after immigration? Does re-entry stamp have a time limit or just based on the visa year end date? Also, upon return, is it required to stop by the re-entry again and pay or just one time "outbound" only. Thank you for great advise and reply. Cheers
Tod *********
@Ben ********
you TELL them at the security screening to get into Departure 2 that you need a re-entry permit, they will send you to the desk. the re-entry permit will be good as long as your current extension is good for.
When you come back you don't do anything but stamp back in
Michael *******
Yes exact same rules apply
Sammy *******
@Tod ********
Todd, is it correct that even with a re-entry permit, one departing as will be this individual, he must, upon return, obtain all the documents and quarantine as any individual entering Thailand?Tod *********
@Sammy ******
the entry requirements are for ALL foreigners no matter what visa/extension they're using to come into the country on
Greg ********
@Sammy ******
Yes, need to arrange COE etc and quarantine. Friend from work in his 2nd ASQ now. He will be doing 3rd end of June too as he has to travel again. Fully vaccinated too.Michael ********
@Sammy ******
yes still need to apply COE insurance etcMichael ********
Yes its just before the immigration counter. No Qs when i went there three months ago at the counter or immigration
Maria ***********
OP@Michael *******
Great. Thanks. I have always done it at the airport but was unsure if it was open due to covid Michael ********
@Maria **********
this question has been asked a few times this month and people who replied have all said its still openMichael ********
@Ian *********
After checking in and after security but before immigration, yes fill form they take your photo stamp your passport, then immigration.
Ian **********
@Michael *******
Do you need to do this before checking in or after? Is it form filling out just pay and fly? Thanks Activity
