Re-entry Permit Before Leaving Thailand — keep your visa, no restart
Single 1,000 THB / Multiple 3,800 THB — TD93 handles at Immigration or online.
Service Overview
Re-entry Permit is a temporary travel-out authorization issued by Immigration — critical for foreigners with long-term visas in Thailand (Non-B, Non-LA, Non-O, Retirement, etc.) who need to leave temporarily. What to know: • With Re-entry → Visa and Work Permit remain valid on return. • Without Re-entry → Visa and Work Permit are voided immediately on exit. You'll need a new visa from abroad and restart the entire Work Permit process. Two types: • Single Re-entry: 1,000 THB, used 1 time (out and back) • Multiple Re-entry: 3,800 THB, unlimited (until visa expires) Break-even: 4+ trips during remaining visa → Multiple is better. ⚠️ Re-entry Permit is not a Visa — when visa expires, Re-entry expires. Always track visa expiry as the master date.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I leave Thailand without a Re-entry?▾
Visa and Work Permit are voided immediately on exit — must obtain a new visa from a Thai embassy abroad and restart the entire Work Permit process (1-2 months + costs).
Can I do it at the airport before leaving?▾
Yes at Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Phuket — but rush-hour queues are long, risking missed flights. Better to do it at Immigration or online ahead of time.
Why is Multiple better?▾
If your visa has 6+ months left and you travel 4+ times, Multiple is cheaper because you can travel unlimited times until visa expiry.
When does Re-entry expire?▾
It expires with the visa — when visa expires, Re-entry expires.
How does online Re-entry work?▾
e-Re-entry Permit via https://www.immigration.go.th — register, pay by credit card, wait for approval email.
Can I leave during the 1-3 day online wait?▾
No — you must wait for approval before exiting.
Can I apply on someone else's behalf?▾
Yes — power of attorney + applicant's original passport — TD93 can do this.
Forgot to get a new TM.6 on entry — can I still apply for Re-entry?▾
Yes, but must visit Immigration to obtain a new TM.6 first.
