What documents do I need for a multi-entry permit with an O-A visa in Thailand?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
I have a 12 month O-A visa , runs out on 17th April this year. I have extended my health insurance and intend to re enter Thailand before 17th. I know that I will be stamped in for a further 12months ( or to the end of my insurance cover). I will get a multi entry permit at Phuket immigration so I can leave and return after that and protect my visa. I know I will need to show my visa , passport, copies of passport and TM30, and of course there will be the fee. What other documents might I need and is there a form to fill out?
Answer summary
To obtain a re-entry permit for a 12-month O-A visa in Thailand, you will need several documents including: your visa, passport, copies of your passport and TM30, and the filled TM8 form. It's recommended to bring proof of health insurance, especially an insurance certificate that indicates coverage for the duration of your visa. You must also pay a fee of 3,800 baht for the re-entry permit. Additional suggestions include carrying financial proof and completing the TDAC form before visiting the immigration office.

Look at a non O without the insurance and get a 12 month extension

OPSimon Adams that doesn’t suit my situation

On O-A, you will also need a insurance certificate from the insurance company showing coverage for the duration of your visa.

OPBob Haas you need to show insurance certificate when you enter the country I don’t think you need to show your insurance certificate to buy a re entry permit but I would take it in any event as I keep the insurance certificate with the print out of my visa
Bob ******
Charlie Ridley You are correct. I have a "Travel Folder" with a copy of all the required documents. I'm not taking any chances that the procedures may change, or interpreted differently.

Just stay away from Thailand... how about that?

3800 baht for a multi re entry

You can do the re-entry at Patong, Blue Tree or the main Phuket Town office.

Copy of passport photo page, copy of last entry stamp, copy of visa, TM30, photo and 3,800 baht. Oh and a filled out TM8

OP@Stuart ********
thanks Stuart it’s the TM8 I didn’t know about.Stuart *********
Form downloadable here.
It’s usually printed double sided so if you print two pages staple them back to back.
The form doesn’t ask for it but put your phone number under the signature on the back page.
If you’re not sure of the dates asked for on the back page then one of the volunteers in 101 (if you’re in the Phuket Town office) will help.

Proof of finance in the bank
Bob **********
AtrustworthyJaguar no
Stuart *********
That isn’t a requirement for a re-entry stamp.
Charlie ********
OPAtrustworthyJaguar that is incorrect, you do not need proof of finance for a re entry permit

Charlie Ridley I like John misread thinking you talking of the extension. Did you have to show financial for the extension?
Atrustwor*********
Charlie Ridley nope i agree but do for the extension. I got asked years ago when I had the OA unless they have changed it which is possible being Thailand
Charlie ********
OPAtrustworthyJaguar it’s not an extension. It’s my last entry on my OA so you are stamped in for as long as your insurance is valid for so it must have changed over the years many things do. Thanks for your response.

You'll need to complete the TDAC form prior to visiting immigration and have a copy of your insurance policy to hand
Charlie ********
OP@John *********
I don’t understand your response. I know I need to complete a TDAC online before I enter Thailand again and I know I need to show my insurance at point of entry to get stamped in for 12 months. Are you saying I need to present both at Phuket town immigration when I go there to get my re entry permit!John **********
@Charlie *******
sorry I think I misread your post looking again. I thought you were referring to entering Thailand to get the 2nd year

@John *********
