How do I apply for a re-entry permit at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Thailand?

No, reentry permits are located past security, to get to that point you need to have a boarding pass.

It can also be applied for at your local Immigration office.

Guys, do you know if it's possible to apply and do the "re-entry" at Suvaburmi airport one week before flying ?

For me, it's easier to get the airport than the immigration office.

And I would prefer to it one week before flying, then I will feel less stress and not in rush 🙂

The first booth that says re-entry permit is actually a "disguised" application form and photo taking service. You give her 1,200 baht, she takes your pic, prints the form, gives you back 1,000 baht and a receipt for the 200 baht service fee, and sends you to the back office located 10 meters away. It's misleading but better than before.

You can skip that booth and go to the back office if you bring your application completed from home with your own pic. I learned from own experience by being done for the extra 200 baht, an Indian group of 8 before me had them all done from home.

We also have the option to get the re-entry stamp from our nearest immigration, right?

I had a fully signed form and photo, they took it away, charged me 1200 and made me sign a different form. Back in March.

So they DO waive the 200 baht "service charge" if you have your own form and photo ;) (y) well done, thanx for the info :)
