TLDR : Answer Summary

Purchasing a re-entry stamp at Suvarnabhumi can take anywhere from 10 to 50 minutes depending on the time of day and the number of people ahead. Comments suggest printing the form online and bringing a photo for cost savings. The re-entry stamp counter is located in the same hall as immigration, making it relatively easy to find.

wow I did mine at Don Mueang - I wasn't even going to bother (wasn't sure when I'd be back) but the Immigration Officer suggested it and pointed to an office just a few yards away. Took all of 10 mins

I have found it takes on average of 35-50 mins, depending on how many people are ahead of you. Pro tip: print the form online + bring your own picture to save 100-200 bht (single vs multi permit).

If you got time just get it here I always get a multi so no worries coming and going

I had to wait about 30 minutes one time, but unlike David I was sent to the front of the immigration queue so total was about 35 minutes. I'd be cautious and take his advice though, they may send you to the back of the queue after getting your reentry stamped in

It's same hall as immigration. Got it in 10mins but after getting it had to go back in normal immigration line. So I'd take an extra 30mins if I were you.
