All students must apply for a re-entry permit every time before you leave Thailand.
Important!! If you leave without a re-entry permit, your Non-Immigrant ED visa will be canceled upon departure, then you will need to apply for a new ED visa again.
Please apply for re-entry permits at the immigration office.
- Types of re-entry permits
- Single re-entry (1,000 baht, allowed to leave and re-enter Thailand one time)
-
Multiple re-entry (3,800 baht, allowed to leave and re-enter Thailand
unlimited times before the expiration of the current visa)
You can also get a re-entry permit at the airport. When you are flying out of the country, but it must be done on the same day and the same airport that you are flying out of Thailand.
Example.
- You fly from Chiang Mai to Bangkok
- You fly from Bangkok to another country
- You must get your re-entry permit at the Bangkok airport
or
- You are flying from Chiang Mai direct to another country
- You can get your re-entry permit from the Chiang Mai airport
However, we strongly recommend that you apply for the re-entry permit at the Chiang Mai Immigration office. If you have a connecting flight in the early morning, it will not be possible to get the re-entry permit at the airport.
Example.
- Your flight will leave late at night on Day 1(e.g. 22:00)
- Your connecting flight that departs from Thailand will leave early in the morning (02:00)
- It will NOT be possible to get the re-entry permit at the airport because
you begin your first flight on Day 1, but your flight out of Thailand is on Day 2 (NOT the same day)
