Does my friend with a B non-immigrant visa and work permit need a re-entry permit to leave Thailand for a couple of days, and can he purchase it at Phuket airport?

Am I correct in thinking that my friend from Myanmar who has a B non immigrant visa and a work permit will need to purchase a re entry permit if he is leaving Thailand for a couple of days. If leaving from Phuket airport can this be purchased at the airport. 

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

Your friend from Myanmar with a B non-immigrant visa and a work permit will indeed need to purchase a re-entry permit if he plans to leave Thailand for a couple of days. This permit can be obtained at Phuket airport, but it can also be purchased in advance at the local immigration office.

This applies to any Visa which is not multi-entry to enable you to maintain your current Visa status and exit by date when re-entering the country

Doesn’t apply to the first year of a OA visa as that’s multiple entry. It does apply to the “second” year of the OA and most non O visas. There are some year long Non Os that are multiple entry but few and far between.

yes , you have to just inform your immigration centre that you are coming back so they will give you stamp for that , you have to pay some amount.

not if you have retirement visa already. Don't you buy a re-entry permit when leaving?

if your visa is not multiple entry visa then you have to inform immigration for re-entry. 1000 baht for visa single entry and 3800 baht for multiple retirement visa . Please check your visa it’s multiple or single entry.
