I plan to travel to Laos on October 21. I am renewing my 90 day business visa on October 4, meaning that at the time of my travel I will likely be under the 28-day "period of consideration". Will there be any issue? Can I still just get a re-entry stamp at the airport before departing from Thailand?

okay, you're not renewing anything 😮 you can't renew visas 😕 You're applying for a new yearly extension based on employment and you are getting an "application under consideration" stamp for a month.

As you thought, you CAN leave the country IF you buy a re-entry permit, (as long as you're back before that under consideration stamp runs out)

Thanks for your help. So if the consideration stamp date is October 28, and I need to leave on the 27th, can I go early to immigration, or do I need to change my travel dates?

, if it’s an extension based on employment, you better talk with your employer about your plan abroad during the consideration period well in advance.

@Philip ********

you need to be IN the country and at the immigration office when that under consideration stamp comes due

OR

you cancel everything and start all over from scratch getting a new Non-B etc
