What is the Process and Cost for Obtaining a Re-Entry Permit (Single or Multiple)?

You can obtain a single or multiple re-entry permit at the immigration office or at the airport in Thailand, with costs set by Thai immigration.

The Specifics

• A re-entry permit lets you leave and return to Thailand without cancelling your current visa or permission to stay.
• Single re-entry permits allow one exit and re-entry; multiple re-entry permits allow unlimited exits and re-entries during their validity.
• You can apply for a multiple entry re-entry permit at the immigration office or directly at the airport.
• Applications are normally processed on the same day if submitted with complete documents at an immigration office.
• Re-entry permits are separate from any visa application and are used once you already hold a valid Thai visa or extension of stay.

Expert Tips from Thai Kru Visa Agency

Most long-stay clients on a DTV visa choose the multiple re-entry permit so they can travel freely without worrying about visa cancellation. The DTV itself is valid for 5 years with multiple entries and allows a maximum stay of 180 days per entry (plus one 180-day extension). This makes it popular for remote workers, those taking Muay Thai or cooking courses, business owners, and people receiving medical treatment.
