Will i have problem?

[Enduro]

I am in the process of setting up a motorcycle off road tour business near Mae hong son.  I will be soon going to a company (not known who yet) to set up the company.  the visa run from where I live is a mammoth task, Vientiane is the nearest and all I can seem to get there is 3 months.  I want longer so am looking at getting immigration type B.  I am at the moment on the biggest visa run I have done riding my motorbike from Mae hong son to Kotu Baru, due to the length (so far 1800km I am in Krabbi now) in an attempt to apply for this visa my I am now on overstay by 5 days.  My next stop will be Hat Yai and I want to speak to a company to help me get the visa.

My problems are...

My passport runs out in 11 months and 2 weeks.  has anyone applied for a new british passport in Thailand and will they grant a one year visa without one year remaining on passport?

If I am persuaded not to apply for the immigration visa, which country shall I go to get a long visa?

Clera your overstay at the border at Sadao or Padang Besar.

Be careful with using visa agents! do the job by yourself.
