i believe the snswer is to obtain a re-entry permit, but wanted to confirm. 

my friend has a visa type is a NON-IMM  category B - number of entry: SINGLE. The stamp in his passport on the opposite page states 12th May, valid until 9th August.

he has a short weekend trip planned to Taiwan and then return to Thailand -- to avoid cancelling his visa, i told him he must obtain a re-entry permit before departing.  was my advice correct?

my friend is in bkk, and has a Singapore passport.

thank you for any advice

Answer summary

A friend with a single-entry NON-IMM B visa intends to travel to Taiwan and must secure a re-entry permit before his trip to avoid canceling his visa. He seeks confirmation on this requirement. Comments suggest verifying whether it's a visa or an extension; if it's a visa and the entry stamp shows it has not been used, he may travel without a re-entry permit.

Anyway on the single entry stamp it should say used. If not then he's free to have 1 trip.

Are you sure its a visa and not an extension? If it's an extension and he hasn't left the country since it's issue then there is no need for a reentry permit because he has 1 entry i.e. single entry. Any other time after this trip he will need a reentry permit

I have done it many times mate. Single entry means he has 1 entry into the country so can leave and come back once.
