ORIGINAL POSTER

As somebody who has their first Non O — 1 year Extension of Stay date coming up at Bangkok Immigration, I have 2 questions; 1). Am I supposed-to in advance glue one of the 2 recent identical headshots required, to the application form? AND 2. If II have already a preplanned trip back to America this summer, and to avoid dealing with it at the airport in June, is it possible to receive a valid EXIT STAMP in my passport at the end of the upcoming Extension of Stay appointment?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user seeks clarification on two points regarding their upcoming Non O Extension of Stay appointment in Bangkok: 1) whether it's necessary to glue one of the required headshots to the application form; and 2) if they can obtain a valid exit stamp for their preplanned trip to America during their extension appointment. The responses indicate that the headshot is usually glued by immigration staff, and clarify that an exit stamp cannot be pre-obtained; it is distinct from a re-entry permit.

I think by EXIT stamp you mean RE-ENTRY PERMIT, which is something totally different. You can get these either at an immigration office or at the airport. 1000 Baht for single, 3800 Baht for multi.

1) they've always glued it on for me, but I've never gotten a retirement extension. Just other types.

2) obviously you cannot get an exit stamp BEFORE you exit Thailand. How would that even work? There's no line for people who already have a stamp. You'd still have to wait in line. It doesn't make sense.

You likely won't be dealing with it anyways since most people exit through the automated gates now and don't receive an exit stamp at all.

Is it possible to leave Thailand for a short trip before receiving my 1-year extension of stay?
