elviajero Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 You will only be able to apply for a 1 year extension of stay if you are employed by your accountants company and have a work permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Where did you get the multiple entry non-b visa you have now? I would guess Penang where they are only issuing them if your are a owner or shareholder of a company now. I don't think you have many options now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A general list of the requirements for an extension of stay based upon working are here. https://www.immigration.go.th/content/service_1 Not shown is the minimum salary requirement of 50k baht for those from most western countries.

I only wish it was that simple! For clear-cut situations, there are guides that explain exactly what to do. Mostly, in other than simple cases, there is a mix of official laws, ministerial orders and police orders which interact with local regulations and practices. Knowing what to do relies on a knowledge of all of these. You are in the right place for the best free advice, but should not expect, even here, that you can get definite answers to all your questions. Similarly, a good immigration lawyer or agent can advise you on viable approaches, but may not have all the answers. When discussing a multiple entry Non B visa, there is an additional wrinkle. It appears the practices in Penang, the consulate where people applied for these in recent years, has just changed. We know you definitely will be unable to get a multiple Non B in Laos or Cambodia. We know you will only be able to do so in Penang under much narrower conditions than was true in the past. It is conceivable you might be able to do something in Vietnam or Hong Kong (two countries that have been friendly to visa applicants over the last few years). My gut instinct says probably not, but we have no data to tell us definitely one way or the other. You could contact the consulates in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Hong Kong to ask, but communication difficulties mean you could not 100% trust the answer you were given even then.

That would seem feasible, either in Penang or Vientiane. The advice given by ubonjoe is your best guide. See what he says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
