I’m on a US passport and have a single entry Non-B visa with work permit as it was issued a month ago so I am still within the first 90-days.
I have a family emergency in the US and need to travel back next week. I understand I can get a reentry permit at the airport before I leave from BKK Airport. I have three questions.
1. Is it a pretty straightforward process, as in I don’t have to worry about not being able to get it?
2. What do I need exactly to get it?
3. Can I do this a day or two before hand or do I need to get it the day of? My flight leaves at 7am. Would rather get it before hand if possible.
Thank you.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The process for obtaining a reentry permit at the airport before leaving Thailand on a Non-B visa is generally straightforward. You will not be able to get the reentry permit days in advance, as it must be obtained either at the local Thai Immigration office during business hours or at the airport on the day of your departure. To obtain the permit at the airport, you need your passport, your boarding pass, and 1,200 Thai baht for the fee. Make sure to allocate extra time at the airport in case of lines at the Reentry Permit Desk.
