What good is my re-entry permit if all the borders are closed? Is it just for when everything opens?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A re-entry permit allows you to leave Thailand and return without having to restart your visa application process once borders reopen. It is particularly useful for individuals with an extension of stay.

It's when everything reopens. Some people have one year extension of stay, and it will allow them to leave and return without restarting the process.
