What should I expect at passport control after obtaining a single re-entry permit for my non-O visa in Thailand?

ORIGINAL POSTER

I acquired a single re-entry permit when I got my recent one-year extension of non-o visa.

I head for Suvarnabhumi in the morning - When I go through passport control, do I need to do anything or make sure they see the permit stamp in my passport?

I did a single re-entry permit once before, but that was done on-site at the airport, and they gave me a receipt that I presented at passport control going out. I'm just not certain about having the stamp already in the passport and it being accepted when I return in a few weeks. Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

When departing Thailand with a single re-entry permit already stamped in your passport, you will not have to show it at passport control; the exit process is automated and does not involve interaction with personnel. The re-entry permit will be checked upon your return to Thailand, where immigration will stamp it, ensuring your entry is processed correctly based on your valid non-O extension.

For the last time for mentally challenged people, there is absolutely no check when you exit Thailand.

Do your TDAC registration when you have 72hrs or less before you return.

The immigration officer will only look at the re entry permit when u return to thailand they will stamp (used) on that permit (for single entry) and will stamp you in until the validity of your current nonO extension

Nobody will see anything. You won't even go to a person. Exiting Thailand is through automated gates.

They'll see your re-entry permit when you return and attempt to enter Thailand. That's when you need to make sure they stamp you in correctly.

Do I need to inform immigration about my re-entry permit when leaving and re-entering Thailand?
