Can I leave Thailand while my 1-Year Extension of Stay Based on Marriage is "Under Consideration"?

@David ******

why would you buy multi re-entry as its valid only until the under consideration period.

I have left the country couple of times during the under consideration period with single re-entry permit. As Todd said it's ok as long as you are back before the stamp expires.

Buy multi re-entry only once you have the annual extension stamped.

If you tell them you need to take quick trip but will be back before the under consideration stamp expires they will sell you single re-entry.

Or if you apply but early and have previous extension with multi re-entry valid you can just travel as long as it's within the expiry of previous extension and you are back on the day you need to report back for your new extension.

Sorry tod have to disagree with you this time. They explicitly would not give us a multi reentry UNTIL after we receive the 1 year. When they asked for the 1900 we asked about multi entry and were told not until the popo check us and we get the followup stamp

@David ******

if you'd have told them you had plans to leave during the 30 day under consideration period they would have told you to buy a re-entry permit and they'd have coordinated the home visit for a time you're there.

There is nothing in the rules that says you can't leave, only that you have to be back by the expiration date on the stamp 🙂
