Did I just get scammed at the airport by immigration?
Got a reentry permit for me, my wife and child. Few weeks ago I paid 1,000 fee each and that was it. Today the lady asked me for 1,200. I asked why? She said service charge to copy passport and because I didn't bring the filled out application downloaded from the Internet.
So I asked for a receipt. The receipt shows 1,000 as well. So I asked again about the 200 and why it's not on the receipt. She answered "receipt only for reentry permit not service charge"
So I shook my head and left
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user reports a confusing experience at the airport regarding fees for a reentry permit for himself, his wife, and child. Despite paying 1,000 baht each previously, he was asked for an additional 200 baht for a service charge and for not having the application filled out. The receipt provided did not itemize this charge, leading the user to question if he was being scammed. Commenters clarified that the total cost for a reentry permit can vary depending on whether all necessary documents are ready upon arrival.
