PaulAllen Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 My one-year non-B with work permit is coming to an end on Nov. 10. I am in the works of creating a new company and getting a new non-B but the process is taking longer than I thought so I need some extra time to get that paperwork in order. Can I go to immigration and extend my current Non-B visa (last visa run 3 months ago) for another month which will then give me enough time to get the paperwork in order for the year non-B that I want. Or can I let the Non-B expire and then get a free 30-day tourist visa? Thanks, PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Do you have a multi entry non immigrant B visa that expires on November 10? Exit the country and return on the 9th, or before, for a new 90 day permitted to stay stamp. You do not make "visa runs" with an extension of stay so it appears the above is what you have and you don't have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulAllen Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 I already did that. I had originally expired on 15 Aug so I went on 13 Aug. and got the extra 3 month extension already so now I'm just looking for a way to stay in country a month longer until paperwork for new Non-B is ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 In that case you do not have a visa as it expired already and now your permission to stay is about to expire. I do not believe you will be able to obtain more than a 7 day extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulAllen Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 Since the non-b is about to expire can I then revert back to a 30- day tourist visa until I get my new company paperwork in order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 It is visa exempt entry rather than a tourist visa and you will be limited to 90 days but yes you can use that for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulAllen Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 Can this be done with a normal border bounce or do I have to go to Penang? Any paperwork (i.e. expired work permit) to bring or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 For 30 day visa exempt you just exit Thailand, enter/exit another country and return. If done at Cambodia it may require onward ticket within 30 days of entry proof. There is also a requirement for proof of 10k baht if asked.

wuuguuwuu Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 How much does it cost for a Non-B? Not including flying hotels, etc. How much do I have to pay immigration for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 It would depend on where you go to get it as payment is in local currency and not always at current exchange rate. Also if single or multi entry type. From Immigration you normally extend your stay and that costs 1,900 baht per year. If single entry visa obtained from Immigration, prior to extension of stay, it would cost 2,000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
