Hi , my friend needs to get re entry stamp at Phuket airport after flying back from his home country to Phuket. What is working hour of the office /immigration desk at the airport ,please? Is it possible to get the stamp before leaving the country ? (he has retirement Visa (“O-A”) recently renewed, but urgently must fly out from Thailand)
Thank you in advance
TLDR : Answer Summary
The immigration desk at Phuket airport is theoretically open 24 hours, but it may not always be manned. Travelers needing a re-entry permit should explain their situation upon passing through immigration. It is essential to obtain the re-entry permit before leaving Thailand, as it cannot be acquired on the way back into the country. If your friend's O-A visa was recently renewed and he has a new visa sticker, he may not need the re-entry permit. However, if it was merely an extension of stay, then he will need one.
