Can I obtain a re-entry permit at the airport before my flight, or do I need to get it at an immigration office?
The re-entry permit can be obtained at the airport, is it air side ?, as I stay very near Don maung so I thought I could go the day before flying to purchase it .
Answer summary
You can only obtain a re-entry permit at Don Mueang Airport after you have cleared security and checked in for your flight. This means it is airside, and you must have a valid boarding pass for the same day to access the re-entry booth. If you wish to acquire a re-entry permit in advance, you must do so from an immigration office prior to your departure.

Way up the hassle for travelling to and queuing at immigration against doing at the airport.
Last time I did it at the airport, about 10 minutes depending on any queue.
Pre fill your downloadable TM.8 and provide a photo to speed things up. Proceed through security a little earlier than usual in case a little busier, you can look through the glass to the left before taking the elevator at Gate 2

Its after security and before you present to the immigration officers..
So without a valid boarding pass for the day to get through security it won't be possible..
It would need to be done at the airport on your day of departure..
You can however purchase one at any Thailand immigration office ahead of your departure date..

I'd rather get it done at immigration well in advance than depend on anything literally last minute and airside

The kiosk is between security and immigration so you cannot access it until you fly.

You can only buy at the airport if you are travelling, otherwise you buy at an immigration office

Apply before you go to immigration
Greg ***********
Tomas Arndt come on, you made myday . . . . you need to apply ON Immigration. Or you need to apply BEFORE you exit Thailand, at the re-entry booth. You do not "go to Immigration" other than if you mean he should visit Immigration Laksi Square to buy the re-entry permit
Tomas *******
Greg Alexander He needs to get the re entry before he goes to the passport control, otherwise it’s too late. Basically you confirmed it
Greg ***********
Tomas Arndt hahahahahahaha

I stay 10 minutes from Don maung so it makes sense for me,
If I can get the permit a few days before travelling,
But as it’s airside it not possible

Tongjun you can only buy it at the DMK if you are already past the security check on your way to your flight and getting ready to exit. You would need to buy it on your Immigration if you want it before you exit Thailand. You need TWO passport size pictures, a single re-entry permit is 1000 THB on Immigration. It#s 1200 Baht at the airport. In Bangkok you go Laksi Square IT Center AFAIK for the purchase of a re-entry permit

You get it at the airport when departing as you have to clear security. You can only buy in advance from an Immigration Office.
