TLDR : Answer Summary
To convert your 60-day tourist visa into a re-entry permit in Thailand, you can obtain a re-entry permit either at the immigration office or at the airports (Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang) before leaving Thailand. It's important to understand that the re-entry permit will not extend the duration of your 60-day visa, as it merely keeps your visa active for a return trip. As a Czech citizen, you can return to Thailand and receive a 30-day visa exemption upon re-entry, which can be extended for an additional 30 days for a fee. Proper planning of your travel dates is essential to maximize your stay.

As long as you realize that a re-entry permit will NOT add any more time to your original 60 day stamp you can get a re-entry permit at the immigration office OR at Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang Airports before you fly out.

you have to do the count by yourself to find out if buying a re-entry permit for 1000 THB is worth while. Did you understand what James wrote? The admitted-to-stay date will remain the same on re-entry, as it was given to you when you entered Thailand on this Single Entry Tourist Visa. In case there are less than 30 days left until your admitted-until date on the date you plan to travel out of Thailand, you don't win one single extra day with a re-entry permit . . . . you can get the a 30 day visa exempt as a citizen of Czech Republic upon re-entering Thailand for free . . . . . and you will be able to extend this one by 30 more days on any immigration inside Thailand for 1900 THB (the same fee which applies if you would extend a 60 day tourist visa for 30 more days!) You are free to both options . . count your planned days of stay and travel carefully . .

No you don't. According to:

**********************************************************


You need your passport, and the 1,000THB fee (for a single entry) or 3,800 for multiple.

The form is called a TM8 and you can find it at

it's not free. You want a re-entry permit to keep the tourist visa stamp "alive". You have a single entry tourist visa, and therefore you can only enter Thailand on that visa once. To keep it alive, you need the re-entry permit.

Are you wanting to leave and reenter Thailand? For what purpose? To have added 30 days in Thailand? Or to visit another country?
