I am an Indian passport holder going to Bangkok directly with Single entry visa on 1st October. Then I will go to Cambodia for 3 days and again will return back to Bangkok on 7th through Flight to BKK airport. Now, what is my options?
1. Can I take a re-entry permit from Immigration Office in Chaengwatthana before my travel to Cambodia?
2. I go out from Bangkok on 3rd to Cambodia and return back to BKK airport on 7th and go for a Visa on arrival?
TLDR : Answer Summary
An Indian passport holder traveling to Bangkok on a single-entry visa who plans to visit Cambodia should consider two options: 1) Obtain a re-entry permit from the Chiang Watthana Immigration Office in Bangkok before traveling to Cambodia. 2) Leave for Cambodia and return to Bangkok, seeking a visa on arrival, which is not recommended for a single-entry tourist visa holder. Comments emphasize the importance of securing a tourist visa from a Thai consulate in India before the trip, rather than relying on a visa on arrival. After returning from Cambodia, the individual may need to report to the same immigration office but the enforcement of reporting is not strict in Bangkok. The primary immigration office for re-entry permits in Bangkok is located at Chaengwatthana, but permits can also be obtained at the airport.
