I strongly suggest that you conduct ocular visits to these gym so you can compare.

Or better yet, book your one day pass so you can actually try it out first.

You may check out Now's Studio along On Nut soi 16, Sukhumvit 77.

It's located within the main road so it's very accessible!

Their free weight area are ideal for hardcore weight lifter! very similar to

warehouse type of gyms in the US.

And the best part is,they charged only a fraction of what you pay with We fitness!

I think it depends on the situations, I had the same concern last month and I had the following options:

1. Do a visa run to Laos to get another Non B - But the problem is, some of the documents are not ready yet.

2. Do a visa run to Cambodia - But I need to cut my Non B which will incurred additional cost

3. Stay in Thailand and pay for 2,500 for 5 days overstay

I choosed the option #3 for the following reasons:

1- Some of the documents for Non B visa are not ready (The person handling them was on vacation during that time)

2- If I will exit in Cambodia, I need to pay 1,500 for my Non B to be cut. (That's aside from the visa run fee of 700bht. then I will have another 15 days again)

3- My employer agreed to pay for my 5 days overstay

Of course, I don't want any "overstay" stamp on my passport but I was on the situation that the most practical solution is to over stay.

I don't know, I was really confused during that time. Perhaps, anyone here can suggest what's the best way to handle this kind of

situation.

I will apply in Laos. Thank you so much! @ubonjoe

Why the agency is the agency advised me to bring social security & tax documents?

My employer is new to this kind of things so I was actually the one doing my own paperworks. My employer is just providing me the needed documents.

Unfortunately, these documents are still on process coz my probationary period just ended this month.

I need to exit at least on Wed coz my Non B was expired last Jan 11. I'm also aware that I need to pay for the overstay already.

So confusing.. I'm hoping to get the most reliable answer to my queries.

Thank you guys in advance.

@Ubonjoe,

I would just like to confirm if there's any additional documents I need to bring to apply for my second Non B?

I was advised that I need to bring the social security & tax ID?

Please take note that I already have WP. The only problem is that my request to extension to stay was not expedite.

Thank you so much in advance for your reply.

Thank you.

@Paz, if I apply for my 2nd Non B do I have to bring addtional documents aside from those I bought the first time I applied for Non-B. I already have working permit. Thank you.

Thank you so much @Paz, I think I'd rather go to to Laos and apply for second Non B again until I finally got an extension to stay until my the expiration of my WP.

My only concern is the "Overstay" thing. I don't want to have any bad records or something.

Again, thank you so much!

Stay well!

Thank you for your reply @Paz. As of today, Jan 10, I haven't requested for any extension yet.

Let's say If I request for 7 days extension on Monday then my papers are still incomplete, my only option is to exit and apply for Non B again? Is this correct?

I have a WP expiring on Oct 2015 but my Non B is expiring Jan 11, 2015.

My company advised me not to exit because they can produce the documents in 7 days.

My questions:

Do I need to request for 7 days extension on Monday, Jan 12?

What happen if after 7 days, my documents are not yet ready?

Thank you in advance for the reply.

I see, OK, thank you so much..

Thank you for you reply but it sounds bit complicated for me.

Let me break it down, you mean I need to exit before Jan 11? (I have another 7 days free extension, so I can exit before Jan 18)

I will apply again for Non B to get another 3 months stay until my company finished all the required documents for the extension of my stay based on the expiration of the working permit?

Are we have the same understanding? Thank you

Anyone can advise what to do? I already have WP expiring this Oct. 2015, but my Non B is expiring on Jan 11, 2015. I went to immigration to request for 30 days extension while my company is working on my Visa. But I was declined, they can only extend it for 1 week. Otherwise, I need to exit again and re-apply for Visa. I'm confused what should I do. Please help.. Thank you

Job offer & job contract are some of the requirements in applying for Non Immigrant Visa B. I'm not sure if there's any legal implication about this but you can actually go here as a tourist then find yourself a job. You said there's a good demand of your job here so you have a good chance of getting one. But we both know that you have to take the risk that comes along with it.

It's Lang Kwai Fong. There's tiny street there where you can find Propaganda which is considered gay night club.

Are you sure that's not the WP3 from Ministry of labour? When I exited in Laos, another teacher applying for Nob B was declined and requiring a certain document from the district or something? She had a little argument with the officer coz she's teaching to a private school. Apparently, that document is only required if you're teaching in a Gov't school. Of course, the officer win!

Now's Fitness is a local brand and its considered non-pretentious, straight forward kind of gym. Reasonably priced! They have 3 branches (Ari, Phayathai are few steps from BTS stations and 1 in On nut)

Their Zumba and Yoga classes are the best!

Great!! Thank you for info.

It's not really clear to me if their going to apply for extension of my Non Immigrant Visa B or extension to stay. But regardless, it's clear to me that I really have to report before my 90th days. Thank you guys for enlightening me!

I recently got my working permit and our agent is currently working on my 1year Visa. My question is, even if I got the 1 year Visa, I still have to report before my 90th day in Thailand?

I agree, I have all my school records with me and it's even authenticated by the Foreign Affairs of our country but they didn't even asked for it.

I remember, I was just asked once by my employer about my school credentials during the time when their applying for my WP3.

I just feel that these Visa companies intentionally made it appears like it's tedious to get a working permit so they can get hired.

But I guess they also play vital role in processing your working permit so, advise your employer to hire one.

At the end of the day, it's always best to leave things to the experts.

That's the WP3! Your employer should provide you 2 copies of that. You need that to apply for Non Immigrant Visa B.

Don't forget to ask for the original copy of WP3. You would also need that to apply for your working permit.
