Hi, my thailand work visa will be expired on 4th Feb, and will apply my visa extension at immigration on 19th Jan. During that period of “ under consideration “ stamp , is it possible to do re-entry and leave thailand for a week ? I will come back within the stamp period.
Answer summary
A user inquired about leaving Thailand for a week while their work visa extension is under consideration with an immigration stamp. According to community responses, it is possible to obtain a re-entry permit after receiving the under consideration stamp, allowing for travel as long as the user returns within the validity of the stamp. Additionally, it's noted that the user may need to be present at the immigration office for an inspection before leaving, along with four Thai employees.

My experience with this stamp, i need to present in the office with at least 4 persons thai employee and me as foreigner only during inspection by immigration.the inspection officer will take photo of me holding passport n wp, photo of me with 4 thai employee, photo of me standing at lobby. So, make sure u done inspection prior leave the country. Btw, you can make an appointment with them.

There's no issue at all getting a re-entry permit after you get the under consideration stamp and then exiting/re-entering thailand

Remember that re-entry permit will only be valid for the under consideration period and you have to be back before that stamp runs out so you can go to the immigration office and get the extension inked in
