i’m on an extension based on non o retirement. i’m going to vietnam from phuket airport. i have a re- entry stamp already but want to get another one as my current one will be used for this trip.

i have downloaded the TM8 form and have a photo. my question is do they need a copy of my passport bio page or copies of every page in my passport.
Answer summary
The user is currently on a NON-O retirement visa extension and is traveling from Phuket to Vietnam. They already have a re-entry stamp but wish to obtain another, and are asking if they need to provide copies of their passport's bio page or all its pages. The community responses clarify that they must wait to use the existing single entry re-entry permit before applying for a new one. The consensus is that only the current permit and necessary forms are needed, not additional copies of the passport for the current travel.

How do you get a re-entry visa? Do we get it at the airport when we enter ( in advance) or from Immigration? Or when we exit?

You can apply again for a new re-entry permit after you returned back to Thailand.

Not before that.

You cannot buy a second permit.

You have to use the existing one first.

After using your unused Single Entry Re–Entry, then perhaps consider getting a Multiple Entry Re–Entry Permit instead after making Entry into Thailand again

You'll need to wait until you've used this one before applying for the next one. Your passport, form and photo should suffice
