Hi pls i need your advice, I'm on my 30day-consideration for my non-b yearly extension, the immigration stamped my passport to go back on

30 June '17.

But I need to travel out of thailand between 23-27 of June

Would I be able to return w/o any trouble? I will have a single re-entry permit before i fly out.

I'm worried maybe they will void/cancel everything and need to start all over again getting a non-b visa.

Thanks in advance

Yes it is fine. I did it last year. I had to go home for 2 weeks in the middle of my consideration period and was able to re-enter without an issue.

Okay, just got off the phone with Chaengwattana and they said yes you can exit/re-enter the country on a 30 day "under consideration" stamp IF you buy a re-entry permit AND you return before the date on the stamp.

I checked because didn't want to give you bad information. ;)

, you can always ask immigration related questions by calling the 1111 government hotline number, pressing the prompt for english and then saying you have an immigration visa extension related question.

I'm calling the immigration office here in Bangkok to check that it's the same for under-consideration for business visa extensions as it is for under consideration for marriage visa extensions.

As soon as I confirm it I'll report back.

Thanks Tod..i'm under my hubby's visa, my inquiry is for both of us(to make it simpler)

I as a non-o and him as non-b

We have the same stamped. June 30 and both of us will be travelling together..so I assumed that we both have the same process..and each of us need to buy a single re-entry permit..

You'd need a re-entry permit to keep that stamp "alive".. Otherwise it's canceled when you leave.
