Non B visa with 6 month work permit

[Lolothai]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm currently on a non-O visa, I'm married and have kids but I'm separated, I have one month to renew my visa (extension) and I'm thinking of Non-B, I'm working for a small company and I get 6 months work permit since I'm there.

Can anyone tell me what are the requirement and what would be my best option?

Do I have to get out of Thailand to make a new visa?

Could I use the birth certificate of my children to extend my Non-O?

I think my company upgraded to 2 million capital so it can help.

Should I use an agency?

You can inquire with agencies to help with a Non-B application, but I would first go to your local immigration and ask what they want you to show to get an extension.  You will need a stack of company documents and your Thai taxes-paid proof + minimum-income (varies by your passport-country).
 
You can also use 40K/mo income + company-documents for a Non-O "based on marriage to a Thai" extension - though it totals more paperwork than the Non-B type. 

 

Non-O w/ 400K in the bank for a Thai child is not possible while still married - and if separated, cannot do the marriage-based.

 

A Non-O Visa from Laos is an option, but need an appointment, and those are limited.
