Hi all, did my research and would like to confirm the steps to get a re-entry permit at Don Muang.
1. Go to passport control, mention to officer you want re-entry, and he will stamp appropriately.
2. Go to re-entry office after passport control and receive re-entry permit (with passport photo, TM-8 form, copies of passport and entry/visa stamps, and 1000 baht).
3. When arriving in Bangkok again, alert IO of re-entry permit and write re-entry permit on Arrival Card.
Anything else? Just feels odd to stamp out of Thailand BEFORE receiving re-entry, don't want any issues with that.
Thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
To obtain a re-entry permit at Don Muang, travelers must first inform passport control of their intention to secure a re-entry stamp. Next, they should proceed to the re-entry office with necessary documents, including a passport photo, completed TM-8 form, copies of their passport and visa stamps, and a fee of 1000 baht. Upon re-entry into Thailand, informing the immigration officer of the permit and noting it on the Arrival Card is advisable, although some comments suggest this may not be necessary.
