1 Year Multiple Entry Non Immigrant 'b' Visa

[eurodane41]

Any experiences with the Sri Lanka embassy?

I am recommended this trip by a lawyer, but at this forum it seems that Australia is the best bet?

If anyone has any experiences I will be happy for your advice.

Also regarding the prices for a flight to Sri Lanka and the prices for a non immigrant 'B' visa stamp at the Embassy in Colombo!?

Thanks in advance.

Chances are (unless you have a WP) you will not get a multiple entry Non-immB in Sri Lanka (or most countries in Asia!).

Why do you need a multi-entry visa?

Get the single entry, then extend it for one year with your work permit.

You can then apply for a re-entry permit if you need to travel!

Err, because he doesn't have a WP?

I have just set up my own company and need the multiple entry visa because I don't want to employ 4 Thais and give myself the minimum salary 50,000 Baht/month. This means I cannot get a 1 year visa, I need to leave the country every 3 months. So a multiple entry 'b' visa is a must!

Sri Lanka embassy issues 1 year multi entry visa if you have the correct supporting paperwork. They will give a one year multiple business visa without a work permit. The flight is 3 hours from Bangkok and the cost is 11,000 Baht to 15,000 Baht. Hotels are $75-$100 per night. Go before noon and pick up your passport the next afternoon.

Perth and Brisbane will also work. The negative is its a longer flights 9-12 hours and its around 20,000 Baht for the flight. Beautiful country though and some feel Australia is more liberal with visas.

Just depends where you want to travel.

The Embassy officers reserve the rights to ask for additional documents as deemed necessary

Thanks mate! So I'm guessing Sri Lanka are one of the 'easier' places to get a multiple from in Asia?
