Can I use an estimated return date on my re-entry permit application for a non-B visa in Thailand?

Re-entry Permit Non-B Visa Visa Expiry TM8 Form Thailand Immigration Visa Regulations

Apr 20, 2022

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone. I'm on a non B visa and I need some clarifications about the re-entry permit. I need to go back to Europe for a couple of weeks but am not sure exactly about the day of my return. While filling out the TM8 form this information is requested. Can I put a tentative date or must it be the exact day I will come back to Thailand? Also, will my visa expiry date be postponed depending on how many days I was out or will it remain the same? Thank you in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user on a non-B visa seeks advice about using an estimated return date on their re-entry permit application (TM8 form) when traveling to Europe. A commenter clarifies that it's acceptable to provide a tentative return date, emphasizing that as long as the user returns before the re-entry permit expires, their current visa stamp date will remain unchanged, and further procedures are not needed for altering the entry date.

No problem it is not the exact date. You can just put the estimated date. No further procedure is required to change the date of entering Thailand (regarding re-entry permit ONLY). You just need to be back in Thailand on or before the date of the re-entry permit expires (same as your current stamp).

A re-entry permit wouldn't change your current stamp. You will be stamped until the same date as your current stamp when you will enter Thailand again on that re-entry permit. So be careful with those dates.
