Leaving the country while you have a 30 day under consideration stamp

[maidee]

I was wondering, when it is time for your yearly paper copy job to get another yearly extention, you bring in all the papers & photocopies

and they give you a "30 days consideration stamp" in your passport...

Can you travel abroad during that time ? If you get your re-entry stamp after you get your 30 days consideration ?

wifey claims NO, have to stay in country ?

You can get a re-entry permit for the under consideration period that will be valid for entry up to the report back date.

"Can you travel abroad during that time ? If you get your re-entry stamp after you get your 30 days consideration ?"

Yes you can exit/enter during the consideration time with a re-entry permit. But it's a good idea to tell them your travel dates incase they want to do a home visit.

As long as you have a reentry stamp you can go out during that 30 day period.

And you may have no idea what's prompting his wife's view of things. She may be less concerned about the legalities and have ulterior motives for not wanting travel to take place.

""People just say things from the top of their head""

Indeed.

You can leave with a re-entry permit, I've done it, just be back before your "report to immigration date"

Tha Wai is correct. They will issue a single re entry. No problem

Actually, I'm inclined to think that too, except I don't limit it to just Thailand. A little more rampant here though.
