TLDR : Answer Summary
When seeking a re-entry permit in Thailand, opinions vary on the best location to obtain it. Some suggest going to the immigration office, citing past experiences showing that there may be challenges at the airport. However, others advocate for getting it at the airport due to its convenience and efficiency, reporting quick processing times.

No brainer. Airport is convenient, easy, no waiting. Ten minutes all up.

Airport much easier. You actually walk right past the desk at immigration. Takes ten minutes. I do it every time. Better than wasting a day trekking out to Immigration office

that's what I suggested you do. If you're making more than one exit and re-entry, you need a multiple re entry permit.Roberto *********

Yes I'm aware of that, but that wasn't the question was it? The question was immigration office v airport. I've always used airport.Reply to

You can get the Multiple Re-entry Permit at the airport. Depends how many trips out of Thailand you plan during the validity of the visa/extension.Paul *******
@Roberto ********
You're better off getting a multiple re-entry permit than wasting time on every exit doing that. One multiple re-entry permit lasts for the length of your extension.Reply to
