Do I need to get my re-entry visa at the airport or can I get it from the local immigration office in Thailand?
I'm on a retirement visa and may be leaving Thailand next week, for the re-entry visa/stamp do i have to get it at the airport or can i get it from KK immigration.
Answer summary
The user is on a retirement visa in Thailand and is considering where to obtain a re-entry visa. They ask if it is necessary to secure this visa at the airport or if it can be obtained from the local immigration office in Khon Kaen (KK). Responses indicate that either option is acceptable, though some prefer to obtain it in advance from a local immigration office. The user also inquires about the necessary documentation for the immigration office, mentioning they will be on a one-way flight and will book a return later.
