LS24 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I have all the paperwork/funds to satisfy an Non Immigrant B - Business visa and have applied for multiple entry versions of them in times past when required. I've just inquired about a non immigrant B visa for business at the Thai consultate in Australia (Australian passport). They are saying potentially 8 week turn around. I need my passport within that time period. I will be in Vietnam for two weeks over xmas and new year holidays. So I could also skip over to Cambodia or Korea or wherever if need be. Is it possible for me to apply for an Non immigrant B visa at a Thai embassy other than Australia successfully? I was planning on entering Thailand mid or late January depending on other client's plans. Also, what are the chances of a multiple entry NON B at first application? I could apply for them in the past and would like the option again because I plan on a couple of work trips to neighbouring countries to Thailand in the first quarter of 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 In the past the consulate in Penang was issuing multiple entry non-visa. I suggest you contact them about it. https://penang.thaiembassy.org/th/page/cate-6430-บริการต่างๆ-ของฝ่ายกงสุล?menu=5d75e28715e39c242c006211 Checked the website of the consulate in Ho Chi Minh City and only issue multiple entry non-b residents of Vietnam. The embassy in Phnom Penh only issues a single entry non-b visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS24 Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 @ubonjoe thank you. Is it possible to get a non - b single entry updated to a multiple entry at BKK. I know the Australian Thai consulate says so, but sometimes things change on the ground. I will check with Penang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you would get a multiple re-entry permit to keep it valid when you enter the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be working for the Thai company., I am engaged by an Australian company to work with the Thai company to train Thai stff on specialist software. There will be multiple regular trips also to introduce Australian customers. I will not be on a Thai company payroll. Would a multiple entry 1 year possibly be granted (assuming all documentation is accurate and suffices the requirements) in this instance under the current Bangkok immigration guidelines?
