If you are staying in Thailand

  • Find your actual permission-to-stay expiry in your latest record.
  • Check any reporting obligation on its own record.
  • Ask the bank about document collection on both sides of the year-end break.
  • Keep application receipts accessible while counters are unavailable.

If you are leaving and returning

Put departure and return beside your current stay record. Review whether your status needs a re-entry permit and arrange the appropriate process before leaving. Keep the permit and travel confirmation together.

Re-entry permit guidance
