Hey gang

Will be flying out of CNX and considering getting a re-entry permit at the airport. But it makes me nervous because if there are any issues like they're at lunch or not open...

So, question is: How reliable and consistent is the re-entry permit service at CNX? TIA for sharing your actual experience with this.

It's never closed and it's on the right side of the immigration booths. I've used it often, as recently as last month, and never been a queue but I always go early then chill in the lounge until my flight. It normally takes 10 minutes if you already have the form filled up with the photo.

Peace of mind just go to immigration anytime before the date you leave and get a reentry. Except weekends of course and any Buddhist days!

It’s real easy to do at the CNX airport. I’ve never seen the counter closed. Right before you go through immigration go to your right to see the counter.
