Do I need to file a TM8 for a re-entry visa if I'm returning to Thailand after a short trip?
I have an as yet unused and valid multiple re-entry visa. I am returning home for
2 weeks soon so today at immigration to do my 90 day report, I asked whether I need to do a TM8 and was told yes at first, then no when I returned with the completed form. It makes sense NOT to file a TM8 but would like a definitive answer please. Thank you.

Answer summary
The user inquires about the necessity of filing a TM8 form before a trip if they possess a valid multiple re-entry visa. Initial confusion arose from conflicting information provided by immigration officials. Comments clarify that a TM8 is not filed in this context, as it pertains to applications for re-entry permits, and emphasize understanding the distinction between extension of stay and re-entry permits.

So you have a year extension of stay from the immigration office AND you bought a re-entry PERMIT from the immigration office too right?

thanks for your quick reply.Clifford *********
OPPs the 90 day report, as in person, took just 10 minutes and I didn’t require ANY other documents apart from the form and my passport.

nope, they were just messing with you :O You are fine, able to exit/re-enter all you want until the "valid until" date on your extension/re-entry permitClifford *********
OPIt’s multiple Tod, unused and good date-wise.

and the re-entry permit has not been used (if it's a single) OR is a multiple and good until the end of your extension date right?
