TLDR : Answer Summary

Travelers at Suvarnabhumi International Airport have recently shared their experiences regarding the re-entry process. The wait time for re-entry can vary, typically ranging from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the queue. Travelers need to visit the re-entry booth located after security checks but before the immigration counters. Essential documents include a passport showing the re-entry permit and possibly a boarding pass. The fee for a re-entry permit is 1200 THB for a single and 4000 THB for a multi re-entry, with additional discounts available for those who bring pre-filled forms and photos.

the re-entry counter at Suvarnabhumi Airport is in Section "DEPARTURE 2" after security check but before Immigration counters. It is occupied

. Should it not be manned, ask an Immigration officer. Single re-entry 1200.- THB, multi re-entry 4000.- THB. If you bring pre-filled form and two passport pictures, you pay 200.- THB less. I never bring anything, they fill out the form for me and take a digital picture, put the stamp in the passport and send me on my way

There is no queue for re-entry, you join the main Immigration queue with everyone else. You'll need your passport (showing your re-entry permit) and your boarding pass (plus your Visa if it's a PDF).

Just done that myself last week.

I would allow 30 minutes personally, obviously depends on the number of people in the queue, it's certainly not a difficult process.

Can pay with QR code / scan too l if needed.

Bottom of the escalator to the right. About 30 steps straight along the glass window's.

Can print out paperwork and have it filled out, or get from your local immigration. Doesn't take long if you are prepared. 5-15 min.
