Re-entry permit — travel without losing your Thai visa
Leaving Thailand without a re-entry permit normally cancels your extension of stay. We prepare TM8 and file in advance so your visa is waiting when you return.
What a re-entry permit does
A re-entry permit keeps your current permission to stay valid while you travel abroad. It is separate from your visa and your extension, and it cannot extend the expiry date. Without it, a retirement, marriage or work extension usually ends the moment you leave.

Frequently asked questions
Why do I need a re-entry permit?
If you leave Thailand without one, your extension of stay or single-entry visa is normally cancelled, and you would have to start the visa process again.
Single or multiple re-entry?
A single re-entry permit covers one trip. A multiple re-entry permit covers any number of trips until your permission to stay expires. Official fees: THB 1,000 for single entry and THB 3,800 for multiple entry.
Where can I get one?
At your local immigration office, and at some international airports before departure. Getting it in advance avoids queues on the day you fly.
Does it extend my stay?
No. It only preserves your existing permission to stay; it cannot go beyond its expiry date.
Does my 90-day count reset?
Yes. When you return, the 90-day reporting count starts again from your arrival date.
How much does it cost?
Our service fee is quoted per case. The official permit fee is THB 1,000 (single) or THB 3,800 (multiple).
