Hi everyone,

I think that I am getting as frustrated as everybody

else here due to the new regulations on 1 year visas.

Does everyone know if the 90 day non immigrant B

can be issued repeatedly with no limits?

Does that mean that I have to exit the country

every 3 months and apply for a new one in a thai

consulate if I don't meet the requirements for a 1 year one?

Someone said that the 90 day visa can be renewed only

for 6 times......this is not really clear...

Please someone answer me asap,since I am quite

paranoid about it....

Thanxs a lot

Dave, will you be getting a work permit?

Possibly I will,but let's just suppose that I'd like

to start my own business,the fact itself that my name

is in the shareholders list should be enough to get me

a non immigrant B visa.The point is that I will hardly meet

the new requirements for the 1 year visa(especially the

part concerning a certain amount of money deposited

in a bank account)but I think I'l still be entitled to get

at least a 90 day non-imm. B.

Someone on the forum mentioned that this visa can only

be renewed 6 times.......

I am pretty confused about it.

Thanxs

What is your nationality and where are you located Dave ?

Does the nationality important in this  case?

What a bout the structure of the society also(patrnership, private limited ....)? Does that count?

What about 2 visas 30 days on arrivals after the first non B? Is it better or worst if re apply for a non B?

The answer could be determinant for me to know how I must plan to stay in LOS in the future. I wish Dr Pat Pong or others could give some advices.

Also thanks by advance

It does matter Sting.

Doctor,

May I know more about that?

I know I open my mouth widely often, it's my big trouble, but as I said also, generally you give accurate informations.

If that does matter, could you be more precise please? Or must I be more precise myself and describe the situation?

let me know, my next run will be before the 20 th of october, if can apply for another non B it will be great.

Thanks by advance

Sting

email me the outline Sting. Some nationalities can only get a visa in their home country some cannot get a Non-Immigrant visa at all. Where did you get your last from ?

vientiane, the capital city of Laos ( I precise cause I am not sure about the spelling)

I mail you in some few minutes.

Thanks

dr.pat pong

Hi,

I can only speak from my experiences, but in Penang they took one look at my TWO Non-Imm B's and left a nice little red REMARKS stamp that said, THE APPLICANT IS ADVISED TO APPLY FOR A WORK PERMIT WHICH SHOULD BE PRESENTED TO THE AUTHORITIES NEXT TIME

This was months ago in April and since I am sorted out now, I wasn't faced with testing it again, but it did get my attention

I have just done (2 months ago) a run to Vientiane, and got 3 month single entry non im B. No problem. Company papers all inorder, but forgot to take a copy of my work permit which was with the labour office.

In October I am doing a run North, with ALL the papres, including the work permit, and applying for 12 month non im B. Will rpeort back but a retired guy in CM just diod it with zero bank balance (copy of statement), fully documented company, work permit etc, and got 12 months non im B visa, no hassles.
