TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, it's possible to travel abroad during the 30-day "application of stay is under consideration" period, but there are conditions. If it's related to a one-year extension application, you can obtain a re-entry permit, but it's advisable to discuss your travel plans with the local immigration office beforehand. However, if you are in the process of an initial visa application while in the country, you cannot travel abroad during this period.

You can indeed exit/re-enter the country during an "under consideration" stamp in your passport.

You get a re-entry permit (which is only good for as long as the under consideration stamp is valid for) before you go

and

you would have to come back before that stamp ran out so you can go get the visa/extension inked in at the immigration office

If you mean an under-consideration period for a 1-year extension, yes, you can by getting a re-entry permit. But you will want to talk about your travel itinerary with your local immigration office when or before you apply for an extension. Or before you get a re-entry permit at the latest.

If you mean an under-review period for an in-country initial visa application, you cannot travel abroad.
