    If you have a one year extension of stay (it is not a visa) based upon working issued by immigration you will need a re-entry permit to keep the extension valid when you enter the country. A single is 1000 baht and a multiple is 3800 baht.

    If on a multiple entry non-b visa issued by embassy or consulate you would not need a re-entry permit if it is still valid for entry.

     

    Thank you.  That's what I was thinking, wanted to make sure to not get into trouble if I travel abroad.

     

  2. Hi.  I am a shareholder in registered limited Thai company.  I have been living with non immigrant-O visa (retirement).

    Presently stranded outside Thailand.

    I have two options to go back:

     

    1) ask for business visa and once in Thailand apply for work permit

     

    2) ask now for pre approved wp or what is called WP3.   And once in Thailand continue the process for Wp.   This means obtaining non B visa from Thai embassy.

     

    What would be in your opinion, the most effective approach and with less bureaucracy to achieve first going back and fo what is necessary later.

     

    Thank you for your time.

    A thai can transfer/sell shares to a foreigner in a Thai company limited as long as the total number of shares held by foreigners don't exceed 49 percent. I believe there shall always be minimum three shareholders, like when a company limited is registered.

     

    You don't need any special visa status to be a shareholder, nor as director on board level only.

     

    Being a shareholder in a Thai company limited don't qualify for a non-B visa, you need a work permit – or agreement/contract for work – and the company need to fulfill the conditions for employing a foreigner; normally it's minimum two million baht shareholder capital, and four Thai employees, for one foreigner's work permit.

     

    If you are married to a Thai, you don't need to change visa status from non-O to non-B to obtain a work permit. To my knowledge you cannot change to a non-B domestically.

    I am now a shareholder with 2 other shareholders as you mentioned.

    Being outside Thailand at the moment, what is best way to go back legally?

    Is a work agreement/ contract enough or better go for work permit?  Should all these be done in Thailand or at Thai embassy where I am now?

    Thank you so much

    Thank you for your reply.  It's clearer now for me. ????????????

    At least it will help those of us who are expats trying to get back to Thailand, some hope of getting home sooner.  Lots of us stranded outside.

    I agree with you.  Are they still asking for covid-19 insurance with $100 k coverage and medical certificate for covid-19 testing negative?  I don't know if this applies to foreigners with retirement visa/ non immigrant o.

    As far as I understand the requirements 100.000 USD (not THB) is required as a minimum coverage.

    I am also still working on that to get back in one day. Maybe someone has good advice for new insurance policies.

    I didn't see any insurance company offering covid-19 coverage.  If you find any, it would be nice to share.

    I don't know if theses requirements are only for temporary visitors to thaïland or for everyone including people living in Thailand under retirement visa?  It's not clear for me.
