Hiii! Hoping for some insights quickly:

I’m spontaneously flying out with a direct flight to Singapore in the next 12 hours from Samui airport but I’ll need a re-entry permit for my visa (issued in Chiang Mai). Is it possible to get a re-entry stamp at the airport? I know in Chiang Mai and Bangkok it is but I can’t find a clear answer for Samui.

Or can it be done quickly at Samui immigration office in the morning? 🙏🏼

Grateful for any experiences shared!

[update]: for anyone with the same question in the future:

Multiple resources said no re-entry permit possible at Samui airport. Went to immigration first thing in the morning. Needed to fill in form, copy of passport, photo, a letter from university that I’m allowed to travel, TM30 and flight invoice. (The latter three only if your visa is issued elsewhere from Samui and if you want the re-entry permit the same day). Needed to push them a bit to get it done in time but worked out in the end. Took about 3 hours total, paid 1000 baht.

Dear Hive,

I have a family emergency and need to fly to my home country unplanned and in a rush. I am on a retirement visa with no multiple entry.

What's the process for getting a re-entry on the way out please?

I travel from USM via BKK. Do I get this is USM or in BKK and if so where?

Thank you so much!

For information:

Samui airport has suspended all international flights and is reducing its flights to Bangkok by 4 flights a day until at least march 28.

Cancelled flights are:

PG127 & PG128

PG173 & PG174

They have also cancelled a lot of internal flights which are all in here.

SAMUI AIRPORT.

ANYONE KNOW IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET A RE-ENTRY PERMIT THERE ???
