Urgent Visa Extension

[gjones]

I wish to employ a farrang starting Monday 12th March on a 3 month contract – his single entry O class visa expires 11th March (Sunday). Can he get an extension based on this and what documents should I supply to immigration or will he need a new visa.

He needs a minimum of 21 days left on his visa to do a change to a "B" visa. In order to do an extension of stay based on business he needs a work permit.

The best solution is to send him to KL or Singapore with your company paperwork and a invitation letter for him to work. He will get a 90 day visa and then apply for a work permit.
