TLDR : Answer Summary
Re-entry permits in Thailand allow long-stay visa holders to retain their allowed stay dates when traveling abroad. To obtain a re-entry permit, you must complete a TM8 form and provide a copy of your passport, your latest extension stamp, and a photo. There are two types of re-entry permits: single entry for 1,000 baht and multiple entry for 3,800 baht (prices may vary slightly at airports). You can get re-entry permits at Suvarnabhumi airport, including on weekends, but be prepared for possible long queues. Not obtaining a re-entry permit can result in the cancellation of your long-stay visa.

Don’t get one don’t get back in on your current visa

Get one if you're on any long stay visa/extension that you want to retain when going abroad.

You fill out a form called TM8. You’ll need a copy of your passport and latest extension stamp and a photo.
There’s a single entry at 1,000 baht or multiple entries at 3,800 baht.
All the reentry permit does is allow you to keep your existing “allowed to stay” date alive.
When you return you’ll be stamped in until that date.

it's also the right to further extend it. A while ago we had someone screw up his wife's non-o because he thought it was more cost-effective to use exemption. His company had to redo it all.Doreen **********
