If you travel to the Thai embassy in Kuala Lumpur, it is possible to apply for a tourist visa. This will give you a 60-day stay on return to Thailand.

 

See http://www.thaiembassy.org/kualalumpur/th/services/99059-Applying-for-Visa-to-Thailand-at-the-Royal-Thai-Em.html and http://www.thaiembassy.org/kualalumpur/th/services/99061-Visa-Requirements-II.html for details.

For now I stay in Thai, first time when I applied, took me 2 month to get the visa .

So if I go to Kuala to apply again doest it take 2 month to get my visa ? Or they just gonna renew it for more 60days in few days ?

He means that you wrote 30 months when you likely meant 3 months (a trailing zero). The Japanese planes that attacked Pearl Harbour included the Mitsubishi A6M Zero-Sen Navy Type Zero Carrier Fighters, commonly referred to as the "Zero" for short.

I tried to say 3 months,  not 30 month 

what

Don't you have a tourist Visa that you obtained outside Thailand?

You can have a single 30 day extension on the 60 day stay, although there are a few countries restricted to a 7 day extension. 

Sorry the above discussion went into the realms of Visa Waivers and Visa Exempts... 

they said i took all my 3 months , i cant not extend more.. thanks gys

Only those from a country that gets their 30 day entry from the standard visa exempt entry scheme cab can apply for the 30 day extension. Those that get them under a bilateral agreement with Thailand can not apply for one.

There is both a Visa Exempt scheme (30 days), applies to about 50 nations, and a Visa Waiver (30 and 90 days) bilateral agreement, applying to a total of 11 Nations. 

You can find details in Wiki.

i have checked the link my country isn't among them , is that mean i can not apply for more 30 days ?

Yes. If you are not staying in a hotel, ensure the owner of where you are staying has done a TM30 notification ("Notification by housemaster of alien staying in the residence"). Otherwise it is easy. Apply any time during about the last week of your permission to stay. The extension costs 1,900 baht.

i stay with my girlfriend thanks for the information ????

In Thailand, you need to distinguish between a "visa" and a "permission to stay". The visa cannot be extended. The permission to stay sometimes can be.

The permission to stay is what you get when you enter the country. There are these primary kinds of permission to stay:

• Regular tourist entry, where you enter the country using a tourist visa, or (for some nationalities) without a visa, a so called visa exempt entry.
• Entry using a visa on arrival (for some nationalities not eligible for visa exempt entry).
• "Non immigrant" entry.

Extensions of your permission to stay are applied for at an immigration office inside Thailand, and can be granted for various reasons. For the tourist, the most common is the 30-day extension of a regular tourist entry. This is not available for those with an entry from a visa on arrival.

The 15-day extension does not exist: it is probably a confusion with old rules for visa exempt entry which are now obsolete.

There is also, technically, no 7-day extension, but in reality you can kind of get one. If you apply for an extension without meeting the conditions for one, the extension is refused, but you are given seven days to leave the country.

i have tourist visa and i applied for it before i enter thai , so my question is if i go to thai immigration to take 30 days to stay in thai , can i have it easily ? 

Guys , extending visa does it have different rules from country to other in Thai  ? 

Or every citizen can extend it for 30 days ? 

I have heard some countries only can extend for  7 days in thai , some 15 days in Thai  ? Is that correct

It possible to do a change of visa status to get a 90 day non immigrant visa (category B) entry based upon qualifying for extension of stay based upon working at immigration.

It is easier if your company has employed foreigners before, because both you and they will know what to do. I am going to assume you will take the easier route of getting a Non B from a consulate outside Thailand (Vientiane Laos is a good choice).

 

The list of documents you will need for the Non B visa application is generally

(Taken from http://www.mfa.go.th/main/en/services/4908/15388-Non-Immigrant-Visa-"B"-(for-Business-and.html)

Note that this implies that your company must apply to the Labour Department indicating their intention to employ you, and receive the provisional approval from the Labour Department in the form of a WP3.

If your company is new to this, I suggest you arrange to visit the Labour Department with a suitable manager from the company to ensure you both know the process.

Furnished with the documents above (and an appointment) you can travel to Vientiane to get the Non B visa. You apply in the morning of one day, and receive your visa the following day in the afternoon.

On return to Thailand, you receive an initial 90-day permission to stay. Your company then applies for the work permit, and you can start work.

Towards the end of your 90-day stay, you can hopefully apply at your immigration office for a one-year extension of your permission to stay. Whether you can do so depends mainly on your monthly salary. The minimum requirement for an extension varies according to your nationality.

Thanks man it was helpful

It is possible to convert from the tourist entry to a non immigrant visa on the basis of working, but it requires a lot of documents. Getting the Non B visa from the consulate (with less documentation) followed by the work permit is easier and done most commonly, especially if not working for a BOI company.

Thanks brah .

But still i don't know how to do it , do I need to go to Malaysia ( thai embassy) to change it by myself with Taking all work document ? Or can i do it inside thai at any immigration? 

Sorry for asking so many Q: , I have never done working abroad before 

Note / Am not working for a BOI C.

Hi guys , for now I stay in Thai and I fund a job, but, as you know guys to work legally you should have B visa , I have entered Thai last month ago using tourist visa , so can I can change to B visa without leaving Thai? 

Or can I go to Malaysia ( thai embbasy ) directly to change it to B visa ?
