Hi all ๐Ÿ™‚

Thought we could arrive early and sneak in an early check in to leave sufficient time for a re entry stamp. Unfortunately this plan failed ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Will 3 hours be sufficient time to get the re entry done (all paper work completed already) and through immigration?

Thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster asked if three hours would be enough time to complete the re-entry process at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Several commenters shared positive experiences, noting that the re-entry process took around 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the queue. They confirmed that with paperwork done in advance, the process at Departure 2 is usually quick, although there is a service charge of 200 baht in addition to the permit fee.

Re-entry process was a breeze. Took about 15 min to get through their ( we were the first) and immigration.

Paid 1200 per person. Received a receipt for the 200 service charge.

Thank you for all the help.

Reentry shouldn't take more than 20 mins but if there are other people running late they will process them first.

, the last time my girlfriend passed through she had the form already completed in her passport with 1k and they didn't charge her the service charge but they told her that next time she didn't have to fill out the form beforehand. I'm surprised that immigration there is getting away with pushing people into paying for the service?

they have a sign posted about it

Once you check in and go thru security you can get a re-entry permit in Departure 2 and it doesn't take that long at all.

Be advised they charge a 200baht service fee in addition to the cost of the re-entry permit
