Not sure if things have changed or I misunderstood, but you now go thru immigration stamp out and then go apply for your reentry visa at Suvarnabhumi immigration, I had to confirm as I only had a single entry visa , and on a side note the long term parking at zone A is a bargain at 140baht per day for those leaving briefly and free shuttle bus to terminal

Answer summary

When departing Thailand, obtaining a re-entry visa can require different steps based on recent changes in immigration procedures. According to recent experiences, travelers must first go through immigration for their exit stamp, then apply for their re-entry permit at Suvarnabhumi Airport. However, some users suggest that it may also be possible to secure the re-entry permit before exiting if you confirm with Thai Immigration officers upon your arrival at the airport. Additionally, the long-term parking at Zone A offers a cost-effective option at 140 baht per day.

That depends on which zone you are entering...

The location of the re-entry counter itself has not changed, at least a month ago. There have been access from other international departure entrance since early this year

the blue tape barrier is blocking the desk and signs clearly state to proceed through passport control prior to access to the re entry visa area, went through about 2 hrs ago

Erh? You do it before getting stamped out.

There is a special line before getting stamped. It's all on the way on the left side in the immigration ("exigration") hall.

After you got your reentry you exit.

At least that's what I've done last times. Last in August i think.

and we have a difference of opinion.

Suggest members ASK when you arrive at the BKK Suvarnabhumi Airport Bangkok for the re-entry permit desk location.

Thank you for your reply.

That is what I had to do earlier this year when I obtained the reentry permit at BKK Suvarnabhumi Airport Bangkok.

Always best to ask the Thai Immigration Officers...

And/Or the airport staff in the airport.

yes did clarify as technically I was without a visa for a fleeting moment, and even though they were busy no longer than 15min to process, make sure you have the 1200baht in cash also cheers
