In Samui immigration you'll get seven day extension, if you have ticket out of Thailand within seven days.

A border run with Herbert or Julie will get you a 15 day stamp.

Without WP you will not get a 1 year multiple entry non-B in SEA.

Apply for WP first, get your WP3, then go Penang or KL and get 3 months non-B.

With the three months Non-B you'll get a WP.

Go again in three months to KL and get one year non-B.

Documents needed you can find here: MFA

The papers are not ready yet so i'm thinking to go to samui immigration and get 10 days (1900 baht) visa run anyway will give me 15 days and similar price.

Only seven days, if you have ticket out of the kingdom in that time.

Reminds me of one time in Samui immigrations.

French: I need 14 day extension.

Lady: Sorry, only 7 days.

French: OK no problem 7 days here and the seven days in BKK.

Lady: no sorry max seven days.

French: But I can make another seven days in BKK.

Lady: sorry can not do.

French: Don't bullshit me ( angry) can I speak to your boss.

Lady : No Problem.

French: This Bi***tch will not give me 14 day extension.

Officer: Can I see your passport and ticket out out Thaland within seven days.

French: Here's my passport, I came here on one way ticket.

Officer:: Sorry can not give you seven day extension, You must leave Thailand before 24.00.

Another option would be to fly from Samui to Penang and then get the ferry from there

Firefly has stopped the flight direct Samui-Penang.

Must go now via Subang (KL).

Go to the border and enter on visa exempt stamp.

You apply for WP on that.

No consulate in the region will give you non-B without WP3.

You're not the first or the last that have been poorly advised by immigrations.

When in doubt ask

You can apply for WP without Non-B.

When applying for Non-B you must bring receipt that you have applied for WP (WP3).

As previously mentioned you get a 3 months single entry.

With the single entry you can get your WP.

After three months go to KL and get one year multiple entry non-B.

Other documents you need to bring you can find here: MFA

You need the work permit to have at least 8 months validity left when applying in KL.

If you only have applied for WP and have the WP3 you'll only get three months, this can be made in KL or Penang.

If your company has 8 million baht in capital you can also apply for one year in Penang else it's KL for you.

Easiest way for you to get to KL from Koh Phangan is to take Firefly from Samui.

They are correct.

Here's the other requirements.
