. .your passport will get inspected by Immigration officers, their booths are before the customs area

if you got nothing to declare, you can walk through customs in the green section quite normally

Erik Nordkvist It should work and will work. They know the issue with the Re-entry Booth being on the other side of the glass screen, That's what the door is for! The lady I asked sits at the right side behind a desk right behind the security screening. This desk seems to be manned all the time. If not just ask anyone wearing an uniform. However DON'T pass through Immigration yet

I did this two times already. On one occasion, after the screen door I found the way blocked by poles and a security line. I did not dare step under the security line. Instead I waved a nearby guard and explained & asked him politely to allow me through. It works with a smile and some patience & respect for others

Erik Nordkvist i did run up to exactly this problem - I had a Premium Lane Card from Qatar Airways and after Premium Lane security screening DOWNSTAIRS was faced with the next step being the Immigration desk. So I alerted a Lady in uniform about my need to buy a Re-Entry Permit. She understood and opened a door in the left hand glass screen for me to enter the Departure 2 Hall where the Re-Entry booth is located. After buying my Re-Entry Permit I made my way back through the exactly same door (avoiding the queues in front of the "normal" Immigration desks) I was able to go back into the Premium Lane area and proceed from there

ah, the person at the booth is just doing the service, pass the forms on to an immigration officer a few steps to the right !? Smart move, because the person in the booth does not wear an uniform . . I paid 1200 Baht and she said she doesn't need my photos 🤨

Confirmed it is open The counter is located inside immigration Departure Hall 2 i.e. after you have cleared the security check... just take escalator down the hall and you will see is a big board which you can't miss. 1200 Baht for single entry. Takes about 15 mins per passport. Don't need to bring your own photo and form any more, as they use their cameras, the form gets printed and you just sign it

Allow me to add, when doing the extension, some Immigration offices ask you to draw a small amount like 500 Baht from the account at an ATM near their office and show the receipt to the officers. So keep in mind, always bring bankbook and Debit Card along when doing your extension

maybe he had to come in person. I already had my extension stamps and re-entry permits transferred from old to new passports twice on Immigration Sisaket. One must just make sure when entering Thailand that you show the Immigration officers BOTH passports, so they can issue you the correct entry stamp (they write the number of the still valid extension from old passport onto the entry stamp in the new passport) Later you visit your immigration and have both stamps transferred. Absolutely no issues and it was for free

by the way you do not have a Multi Entry "Visa" or METV along with your extension of Stay based on retirement. What you have is a "Multi Re-Entry Permit" . A METV is a Multi Entry Tourist Visa valid for six months
