TLDR : Answer Summary
The process for obtaining a reentry permit at Don Mueang when you have an 'under consideration' stamp is complicated but possible. Based on shared experiences, it is noted that while you can get a reentry permit with a 30-day under consideration stamp, it is crucial to understand that this permit is only valid for that specific stamp. However, there may be confusion among airport staff about this situation, as it is uncommon. Some users have reported difficulties, especially at Bangkok's BKK airport, but have eventually obtained the permit after insisting. Additionally, there is a query about whether it is possible to obtain the permit at Chiang Mai or Don Mueang before passing through passport control.

Is there a way to get one at Chiang Mai or Don Mueang BEFORE passing passport control? Cause we'd be there on a domestic dlight a day before anyway...

I think Chiang Mai Airport will sell them to you even if you're flying domestic but I'm NOT sure.

I am almost positive you can't get one from Don Mueang or Suvarnabhumi except on the date you're flying out internationally.

I had that problem at BKK, but still got it after literally having to demand it.

there is no problem getting a re-entry permit on a 30 day under consideration stamp BUT realize that the re-entry permit is only valid for that stamp.

The problem is that not all that many people GET re-entry permits while they have an under consideration stamp in their passport so sometimes the people at the airports don't know what's what about it
