Hi all just wondering if anyone had recently got a re-entry permit from Bkk ? I need to get one there as I won't be near any immigration office and I just wanted to know how much time I need to put aside to do this at the airport? Many thanks πŸ™πŸΌ

TLDR : Answer Summary
The process of obtaining a re-entry permit at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) typically takes around 5 to 15 minutes on a normal day. It's advised to download and complete the necessary forms in advance, as well as to have passport photos ready, which can save both time and money. The re-entry permit desk is located in International Departures 2, after security but before the Immigration desks. Some users reported longer wait times at local immigration offices, such as the new office at One Bangkok, where processing took over an hour.

Did it last week at the new office at One Bangkok. Office opens at 8.30, I was there at 7.45. About 50 people were already there. Elevators open at 8 am (to the 6th floor).

Have your documents ready to be checked at the Information Desk at the very end of the waiting room then you get a number. I was number 18 for re-entry permits. Officers arrive at 9 am. My number was up at 10.30 AM. Recheck the stamp before leaving.
