Is my multiple re-entry permit still valid if I return before my extension expires?

My current one year extension (married to Thai) together with multiple re-entry permit will expire 26 Sept. Applied renewal today at Chaengwattana and got "under consideration" stamp with date to report back on 27 Sept. (yes, only 21 days to wait instead of 30 days).

My question is about re-entry.

As I have overseas trip planned for 12. Sep to 23 Sep I proceeded to apply single re-entry and was told I'm not going to need one because I will be back before 26 Sept meaning my old extension and the multi re-entry is still valid.

I questioned the officer and she went and checked with the boss and said no worries, just come back before 26. Sept.

Is this correct or should I expect the usual confusion and issues upon flying back in on 23rd?

Thanks in advance.

Follow the date on your multiple re-entry permit. Which is 26 september. Its not voided so still valid.

Totally should be fine with no issues

you have a currently valid re-entry permit good until the 26th and you have an extension good until the 27th, AND you are comin' back on the 23. So you're gonna get stamped in for 4 days (until the 27th) and then you go to the immgration office and get your year extension inked in and THEN buy a re-entry permit that will cover you for the whole year
