Do I need to apply for a re-entry permit before leaving Thailand if returning with a new visa?
Good morning all. Apologies if this question was asked before.
Currently we have single entry tourist visas (SA Passport holders),
We will be flying to Kuala Lampur in the next week or 2 and return with ED and guardian visa.
Do we still need to apply for a re-entry permit before we leave Thailand?

Answer summary
The question pertains to whether it's necessary to obtain a re-entry permit before leaving Thailand on a single entry tourist visa when the traveler plans to return on an ED (education) and guardian visa. Responses clarify that a re-entry permit is not required in this case since the individual will be applying for a new visa upon return.

OR use a different consulate that issues them in the normal time frame (turn it in one morning, pick it up the next afternoon). Like Penang Malaysia or Vientiane Lao.I wouldn't even waste the time fooling with KL at all.

OPThank you Robert and Tod. If I understand it correctly we we need to go and apply and return after 4 weeks to collect?

And are you 100% sure that Kuala Lumpur will issue visas to South African passport holders?
people were recently denied there even though they had the correct documentation because they held a passport from South Africa.
Just to be safe (as in don't trust the school at all unless you're sitting there when they call the consulate) I would have your school call that consulate and confirm that you can get the visas you want there.

You only use a re-entry permit if you want to keep your current Admitted to Stay alive when return. You go for a new Visa so no re-entry permits needed.

You should ask your school but your coming back on new visas so I don’t think you’ll need a re entry

OPThank you Bob. Will ask the school as well
