ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about leaving Thailand while their work visa is still being processed and whether this will impact their ability to return. Comments indicate that leaving the country may cancel the work permit process, requiring a restart. It's advised to visit the labor department as soon as the visa is received, and that the first working visa approval may come with a short-term visa (usually one month) that requires the individual to be back in Thailand before it expires.
