I have a 12 month O-A visa , runs out on 17th April this year. I have extended my health insurance and intend to re enter Thailand before 17th. I know that I will be stamped in for a further 12months ( or to the end of my insurance cover). I will get a multi entry permit at Phuket immigration so I can leave and return after that and protect my visa. I know I will need to show my visa , passport, copies of passport and TM30, and of course there will be the fee. What other documents might I need and is there a form to fill out?

Hi All,

If catching the train from Bangkok to Vientiane, can I submit my TM8 (re-entry permit) at the Thai border checkpoint or do I have to go to an Immigration office?

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I have a question on the re-entry permit application which i intend to apply at Don Muang airport. Can I apply for the permit before my departure date ,like a few days before, or i can only apply on the date of departure? And confirm the fees for multiple entry permit is 3,800 baht? Is there an additional service fee of 200 baht payable? Thanks!

Question regarding TM8, is it possible to get a re-entry permit for someone else when I do mine at CW?

I have a multiple entry tourist visa. At what day should I get an extension and how does it work. For instance if I get an extension at day 45 does it only extend to day 75 or does it extend to day 90.

Hi,

Just left Immigration at the Central Festival, Chiang Mai.

Applying for a Re-entry Permit (TM8) and the officer told me that I needed to submit a copy of the TM30.

News to me - cannot find a TM30 as a required document when applying for a Re-entry Permit.

Advice please as I will be returning to Immigration tomorrow.

Regards!

Graham

Apologies if these points are covered elsewhere and thanks in advance for any useful replies:

1) having returned to chiang mai after months out of the country, on a retirement visa (UK citizen), is it still necessary to update my TM30?

2) do I (also) need to complete a TM8 re entry permit?

3) retirement visa expires in January - when is the earliest I can extend it? How long before I apply do I need to have the 800,000thb sitting in my thai bank account?

Hello all, I am just wondering what immigration will be needing in addition to the TM8 for re-entry purposes...copies of travel docs, etc...?...Thanks in advance. =)

Want to double-check, can you still get the Re-Entry permit (TM8) at Suvarnabhumi at the moment?

Not sure if it's entirely visa related, if not, I'll have to find advice on the grumpy old men website ;-).

Last year I had my NON-B visa and Work Permit cancelled and extended for a year based on retirement by an agent in Koh Phangan. Now this year they asked for 35'000THB to extend my extension. They didn't want any certification of income, residence, etc... (he still has it from last year I was told) but they told me, it's not possible to do it in Koh Samui and they have to do it in Pattaya 🤔

So my question, I filled out my TM7, TM8, TM47, I have bank letter and statement of my savings in my Thai bank account, I have medical check-up certificate and Thai health insurance certificate. The only thing I don't have is a Police Clearance from my home country as I have not lived there for 30 years.

If you do it by yourself and have done it in Koh Samui, a bit of guidance would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance and a happy, prosperous New Year to everyone.
