This morning I went to Immigration to get my re-entry permit. Next week I will be off to Laos on a trip with a friend.
To do the re-entry permit (without i cannot get back into Thailand) I had to fill in a form, attach a photo, copy my passport and sign every page. a single re-entry permit costs 1,000 baht a multiple entry 3,900 baht. All in all it took me about an hour.
While I was waiting I saw a sign that the penalty for overstaying the country increased to 500 baht a day. Coming to think off how much money we spend on Immigration. In Juli we go to Switzerland. Re-entry permits for the whole family will be 5000 baht.
