There is no minimum salary requirement to apply for a non-b visa.

ok. Thanks.

I am going to apply for a Non-B visa in India and I wanted to know whether there is any minimum salary requirement for it.

I know there is one for extension of Non-B and work permit. Does it also apply to obtaining a Non-B from India?
Should I give a different contract stating the required salary or the original contract is fine?

You cannot be registered for social fund if you don't have a TIN.

Suggest you go to your nearest tax office and discuss with them. See how they can help you.

So apparently the Revenue Department is 20baht away from my place.
I just went there and cleared everything.
They said I don't have to pay tax for 2018 as I did not get paid in 2018. I only worked for 2 months this year so I have to pay tax next year in 2020 and not this year. They also checked my social fund and suggested to get a tax number when I join the new company.
As for the visa, I do not have to show income tax proof for a new Non-B.
Now I just hope the Thai Consulate gets this as well.

Thanks all for the help.

It is when your income reaches 150k baht for the year. Some employers will deduct it before 150k is earned based upon you estimated annual earnings.

My estimated annual earnings based on my salary would've been above 150k.
But I only got paid for just 2 months. So I do not know If I was required to pay taxes on those two months salary.

When did you really physically start working? which month/year.

 

The salary slip will justify the earning for which period of work.

 

Its a little confusing and you may have to ask the tax office to clarify.

I only have salary slip from January 2019.
No record of any income from 2018 as I got the work permit on 17th December 2018 and it was almost year end so I didn't actually start working until after New Year from January 2019.

It seems your employment bridges 2018/2019 tax year.

 

If your company was paying social security then you should have a tax number.

 

Contact the tax office to get your tax number then file a tax return for 2018 with your earnings, deductions and allowances, you may have no tax to pay for 2018 but you will have a copy of a tax return.

 

Now for 2019, you have some earnings from one employer and potentially a new employer. You will file a tax return for your earnings at the end of 2019.

I started working after I got my work permit on 17th December 2018. I got my first salary slip on 30th January 2019.
What do I do?

Pay for 2018 or not?

Since you started working so late in the year the company probably did not deduct any taxes for last year since you had not reached 150k baht income needed to have to pay taxes or file a return.

Many companies do not start deducting taxes until you reach the 150k baht number.

I don't think you will need to show tax payments if you can prove you did earn 150k baht last year or this year.

I only worked for 3 months.

My total earning in 3 months would be around 100k. So is that why I was not required to pay.

Is it calculated on monthly cumulative income until it reaches 150k and only then you're required to pay?

Or is it based on your annual income if more than 150k than you have to pay.

Did your previous company pay social fund? Do you have a TIN?

 

If yes, you and the previous company need to fix things.

 

If no then there is no record of you working in Thailand.

Yes the company paid social fund, it was mentioned in my salary slip. 

But I have no TIN number.

I had a work permit so there is a record I guess. But I never extended my Visa or work permit.

23 minutes ago, blackcab said:

The income is taxable. Do you have a tax TIN number? You get this at the revenue office before you register at the Social Fund office.

 

No TIN number, and your previous company hasn't registered or paid social fund for you either.

 

If your previous company didn't pay tax or social fund for you then there was zero chance of you getting a one year extension of stay based on working for a Thai company.

I know the income was taxable and I even asked about it but my old company said it's not required to pay.

I don't want to apply for extension of stay as I have already left that company and now joining a new one.

I want to apply for a new Non B with the new company. And it requires tax documents if previous worked in Thailand. That's what I am confused about.

Personally I find it hard to believe. Any earnings generated in Thailand from employment are taxable in Thailand and then there are the allowances and deductions which are permissible under the relevant tax year to reduce the tax burden.

 

Did you or the employer start applying for a work permit?

 

You could consult a tax accountant and sort the tax part out and see what they can suggest and what paperwork could be provided.

 

 

I do not know if my salary was after deducting tax and the company paid taxes on my behalf. I do not have a TIN number. 

I came here with a Non B visa on 25 November and I got my work permit on 17th December after that I can see the social security being deducted from my salary as it was mentioned in salary slip but no mention of any tax deduction.

I resigned from that job on 27th February as my 90 days Visa also expired and I cancelled my work permit.

Now I got another offer and was wondering if there'll be any issue in obtaining a new Non B since it requires tax documents if previously worked here.

Normally it is your responsibility to ensure you are paying taxes on your earnings.

Do you have a tax number? 

 

I would say it is recommended you go to your nearest tax/revenue department and sort it out.

I asked my previous employer and they said that the income was not taxable during probation period. So they only deducted social security every month.

I have already cancelled my work permit.

I left my previous company within the initial 90 days Non B Visa. Now I got another offer from different company and going to apply for a new Non B in my country India.

I did not pay any taxes during 3 months I was employed and even the company never mentioned anything about it. 

Now for the new Non B I need to show tax papers from my previous job. How do I do that. Also what all papers I need from previous employer except recommendation letter?

Please help 

Going back to India and apply there is the only option I guess.

I can’t give you a definitive answer. You definitely (Indian national) cannot apply for a Tourist Visa in Laos, but there is nothing on the Embassies website to suggest you can’t apply for a non-immigrant visa.

That's what I thought.
I have even booked an appointment online to submit application since they don't allow walk-in applicants now.
So I guess I can go for it.

Hi,

My current initial Non B 90 days visa has expired and I am on the 7 days extension to leave Thailand as my 1 year extention of stay was denied because of missing paperwork and no time left.
I need to know If I can go to Laos and apply for a new Non B visa and come back. My company is preparing the documents already. Last resort is to go back to India and apply there.

Any help or any other option would be great.

Same next day service as before. Apply the morning of one day and pickup the next afternoon. 

See here for the appointment: https://thaivisavientiane.com/#

Normally it is next day service there. The 4 weeks would be for those from certain countries. List is here: http://www.thaiembassy.org/kualalumpur/contents/images/text_editor/files/listed country 2018_2.pdf

 

I am from India. So Penang is not an option as it'll take a lot of time.

Does Laos accept application from Indian citizens?

31 minutes ago, ubonjoe said:

Go to a nearby embassy or consulate with all the required supporting documents including a work permit if you have one now or a work permit application approval letter from the Labor Ministry.

I do have a work permit.

But how much time does it take to get new Visa from Laos since they have started the queue system now.

Penang says it'll take like 4 weeks to process.

Any agent you know that can help would be great.

Normally they are done on the same day the application is done unless there is a problem with the documentation.

Some offices do a under consideration stamp with a report back date 30 days from when the application is done due the the application needing to be approved at the division headquarters for where the office is located.

You can get a re-entry permit at either airport in Bangkok and at a few others

So i went to Immigration today for extension of stay and it got rejected because of some document issue. I have got 7 days to leave Thailand now.

What should I do now to get a new Visa?

Any help

1900 thb is the extension itself, after clearing that you go to apply for a re-entry permit at 1000 baht for single re-entry, or 3800 baht multiple re-entry permit, takes about a half passport page the re-entry.

You should apply in the province's immigration office of where you are residing, ie. Chaengwattana for Bangkok.

EDIT: The time taken for the re-entry is dependent on the queue, but usually quite fast compared to the extension of stay queue ????

So my last day is 22nd of this month and I will be going to the immigration to apply for an extension of stay on 21st (that's what my company decided and one representative will accompany me).
Is there any change that immigration will take time, like a few days, to process the extension and I'll be in the overstay zone?
Can I still apply for an extension if I overstay by 1 or 2 days?
I can do re-entry thing at the airport also, right?

Your company needs to help you with getting an extension from Imm'

They need to contact the Imm'office where you are ASAP.

A general list of requirements are here. https://www.immigration.go.th/content/service_1 (click Eng at top of page to change from Thai).

The extension can be for up to one year. The fee is 1900 baht.

Any idea how long is the processing time?
Or it happens on the spot after document verification?

1900 THB is for 1-year multiple entries?

Any other location where I can do extension in Bangkok other than Chaengwattana office?

My initial 90 days Non-B visa expires on 19th Feb 2019. My Work Permit is valid until June 2019.
What do I have to do to extend the visa?
Document requirements, visa fee, extension period or any other thing I need to know.

Please help.
