What is a re-entry visa or permit in Thailand and what are its requirements?

A re-entry visa commonly refers to a re-entry permit in Thailand, which allows expatriates to maintain their current permission to stay when leaving the country. It is essential to obtain this permit before departing, as failing to do so would void the existing stay stamp. The re-entry permit can be acquired at an Immigration Office or during departure at an international airport. The fees are 1100 THB for a single-entry and 3800 THB for multi-entry. It does not extend the length of the stay; upon return, the entry date remains the same as when you left.
