Some Help Please.

I am attempting to assist a friend who has a legitimate business and company here in Thailand.

He was initially granted a Non - B Visa with an expiry time of 5 months. The current visa expires at the end of this month.

He was advised that at the end, or near end of this period he could apply for an extension for another 7 months, thus bringing the total visa period to 12 months.

Would anyone be able to assist as to exactly what documentation is required to be taken down to Bangkok and presented to immigration, along with what forms need to be filled out and submitted.

Thankyou in anticipation of your assistance.

Following are the basics for extension, which, if granted will usually be for 12 months counted from the last entry. Once application is lodged, immigration will stamp the passport to the effect that application is under consideration and the applicant to come back by date ....., usually 1 month.

This might be repeated 2 or more times. The last stamp will be "Permitted to stay until...." or "Not permitted, must leave by.... (7 days)

1. Application Form T.M. 7 (for extension of an alien who enters the Kingdom for not more than 90 days).

2. A copy of the passport (main page, visa page, entry stamp page) or substitute document.

3. One 4 x 6 cm. color photo

4. 1900 baht fee.

5. A recommendation letter from the company showing the positions of the applicant as well as the position of all foreigners working in the company and for what reasons these aliens must be employed.

6. Work permit or the receipt showing the alien has applied for such a permit from the Ministry of labour and Social welfare.

7. The alien's personal tax details including: balance, profit and loss, entity income tax, Vat records for the past year.

8. Certificate of entity registration, company registration certificate of limited company or commercial registration or VAT registration and list of partnerships.

9. Export companies must submit document of export transactions, i.e. bank or company transactions.

10. The officials reserve the right to require more documentation for further investigation to verify the company's viability.
