My first re-entry permit.. I live in Chiang Mai, Fly to BKK and stay overnight for a 6am international flight. My form/photo is all prepared for the permit. Should I go to Chiang Mai immigration (who just moved to a new location that I don't know well) and get it now or should I get it at the BKK airport at... 4am? And for that matter, are they even open?
Answer summary
A user is unsure whether to obtain their re-entry permit at Chiang Mai immigration or at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport before a 6am international flight. Comments indicate that the airport office is open 24/7, allowing for flexibility, but there is concern about the timing to ensure they do not miss their flight.

I’m basically just concerned about how long it takes to do at the airport, because I don’t know what time to arrive so that I do not miss my flight

they charge the 200 THB fee because they don't need a paper - photo anymore from you but use their own cameras to take a picture which goes into the forms, you pay for that service 🤣

Yeah, but they don't charge it at DMK (I don't think). Anyway, it's still convenient, so I mustn't complain...

Because they are providing a service to passengers, Liam..

It's 1200 at Suvarnabhumi, they charge a 200b 'service fee' there, for reasons that have never been entirely clear to me

is it 1,000b for single and 3,800b multiple ? Or does it cost 1,200b if done at the airport?

Just a note of clarification, 1200b for a single entry permit. I think it's 3800b for multi, but I may be wrong on that as I haven't done multi at the airport for years

@Liam ****
thank you, do they take my form and just give me a stamp, or do they give me another form I have to keep?

Right generally speaking it's fairly quick and easy at BKK. The re-entry stamp office is after security, before immigration (but in the same room as immigration). If your flight is at 6, you're probably just before the morning rush (7-9am at BKK) so I would say you won't have too much of a problem. I still suggest you check in early (say 2 and a half hours before). The cost at BKK is 1200b. If it's quick and easy, then treat yourself a coffee and some breakfast!

Chiang Mai Immigration has returned to near the airport - if you know where the airport is immigration is not only well signposted it's about 250m before you turn left (same side) as the airport turnoff.

At DMK, Open

. Located just behind (after) the passport control and before security screening. Easy to see from immigration desks. You mention about re-entry permit at passport control then that officer would give you whatever information you need to bring to re-entry permit counter.
