Border bounces for Chinese from Samui

[jasonsamui55]

I have a company that will soon be employing a Chinese person and until now all of my foreign employees need to do border runs every 90 days (if they are lucky enough to get a 1 year business visa as opposed to consecutive 90 days visas) but now I have a Chinese employee and that Chinese employee can’t just go to a neighboring country to get the Chinese visa but they are required to go back to China to get that B visa. And they say it can take 3-6 weeks to get that visa in Shanghai. I’m ok with that but definitely hope they won’t have to go back to China every 90 days to get a new visa. I.E.: I don’t want them to work for 12 weeks and then spend 3-6 weeks to get a new visa and then 12 weeks of work, etc. But even if they get that visa, they’ll then need to do 90 day border bounces. Usually that means a 1500-2000 THB 18 hour van journey to Malaysia and back. But Chinese people can’t go to Malaysia without a visa for Malaysia. And they can’t easily go anywhere without a visa to those other countries. So if they need to do a border bounce every 90 days, what options do they have as they are Chinese and limited in their travels?

If a multiple entry Non B can be arranged, they should be able to do the necessary border bounce at Ranong going to Myanmar. I believe it is possible to do this in one day if leaving Samui very early in the morning and returning very late at night. This is cheap, but very tiring.

Chinese can get visas on arrival for Laos and Cambodia.

A Myanmar evisa can be you used to cross at Ranong to Kawthaung.

A Malaysia evisa is also possible but they can only enter overland and then have to fly out, See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_Malaysia
