Re-Entry Permit for an Education Visa

Maintain Your Education Visa Status While Traveling Outside Thailand

If you are holding an Education Visa (Non-Immigrant ED Visa) and plan to leave Thailand temporarily, it is essential to apply for a Re-Entry Permit before you depart. Failing to do so may result in the automatic cancellation of your Education visa.

What is a Re-Entry Permit?

A Re-Entry Permit allows you to leave and re-enter Thailand without invalidating
your current Education visa. It protects your Education Visa status, so you can resume
your studies upon return without needing to apply for a new Education Visa.

Types of Re-entries Permits:

1. Single Re-Entry Permit

Valid for one-time travel
If you plan to leave Thailand once and return before your Education Visa expires

2. Multiple Re-Entry Permit

Valid for unlimited entries and exits during your visa period
Ideal for students who plan to travel frequently

How to Apply for a Re-Entry Permit

You can apply for a re-entry permit (Single Re-Entry Permit only for an Education Visa) at:

Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang Airport
(before departure)

Your local Immigration Office

Required Documents:

Completed TM.8 form
Your passport (with valid Education Visa)
A copy of the passport photo page, visa page, and latest entry stamp
One passport-sized photo (4×6 cm)
Applicable fee:

1,000 THB for a single re-entry

Important Notes:

The re-entry permit does not extend your education visa. It only preserves your current Education visa status

If you travel without a re-entry permit, your Education Visa will be automatically canceled upon departure
