Good afternoon.  

I am a U.S. citizen living in Chiang Mai on a Non-O visa based on retirement.  I will (hopefully) fly from Chiang Mai to Seoul soon and will require a re-entry permit.  Is it easy to obtain it at the Chiang Mai International Airport at around 11PM for my flight to Seoul or should I go to Chiang Mai Immigration and apply for it there?  

If it is easy to obtain at the Chiang Mai International Airport -- what documents/pictures/THB do I need to bring with me?  How long will it take?  Where are the located? 

Thank you, kind regards as always, Mark

Last time it took me 2 hours and a full page of paperwork. That's easier than at the airport? Thanks :-)!

I recommend getting it at immigration. I'm not sure if the re-entry permit counter would be open at 11 PM at Chiang Mai airport.
