When asking visa questions please provide some personal info in your postings:

- Your nationality b'cause there are different visa rules for certain nationalites

- Your age

I suggest you read the forum 1st.

All questions already answered.

Good luck

I would say KL.

The last we heard from Penang suggested that it was not the place to go. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/1-Year-Non-V...l&hl=penang

Here's the documents you need.

2.1 Non-Immigrant Visa Category “B” (Business Visa) is issued to applicants who wish to enter the Kingdom to work or to conduct business.

- Completed visa application form.

- Evidence of adequate finance (20,000 Baht per person and 40,000 Baht per family).

- Letter of approval from the Ministry of Labour. To obtain this letter, the applicant’s prospective employer in Thailand is required to submit Form WP3 at the Office of Foreign Workers Administration, Department of Employment, Ministry of Labour Tel. 02-2452745, or at the Provincial Employment Office in his or her respective province. More information is available at www.doe.go.th/workpermit/index.html

- Copy of Work Permit issued by the Ministry of Labour and alien income tax or Por Ngor Dor 91 (only in the case where applicant has previously worked in Thailand).

- Corporate documents of hiring company in Thailand such as:

2) list of shareholders

3) company profile

4) details of business operation

5) list of foreign workers stating names, nationalities and positions

- Document indicating the number of foreign tourists (for tourism business only), or document indicating export transactions issued by banks (for export business only).

N.B.

- An alien who receives a Non-Immigrant visa can work in Thailand once he or she is being granted a work permit. An alien in violation of the Immigration Act B.E. 2522 (1979) concerning taking up employment without work permit or the Royal Decree B.E. 2522 (1979) concerning holding employment in certain restricted occupations and professions shall be prosecuted and imprisoned or fined, or shall face both penalties.

- It is recommended that the applicant should apply for visa at the Thai Embassy/ Consulate in the country where he/she has the residence

You need the work permit to have at least 8 months validity left when applying in KL.

If you only have applied for WP and have the WP3 you'll only get three months, this can be made in KL or Penang.

If your company has 8 million baht in capital you can also apply for one year in Penang else it's KL for you.

Easiest way for you to get to KL from Koh Phangan is to take Firefly from Samui.

Thank you very much more clear now

The papers are not ready yet so i'm thinking to go to samui immigration and get 10 days (1900 baht) visa run anyway will give me 15 days and similar price.

I'm not sure if i have the right to get a one year visa or just 3 months i mean, i will go there with the papers asking for the visa for to get a working permit do i have any chance to get one year ?

[PoorSucker]

In Samui immigration you'll get seven day extension, if you have ticket out of Thailand within seven days.

A border run with Herbert or Julie will get you a 15 day stamp.

Without WP you will not get a 1 year multiple entry non-B in SEA.

Apply for WP first, get your WP3, then go Penang or KL and get 3 months non-B.

With the three months Non-B you'll get a WP.

Go again in three months to KL and get one year non-B.

Documents needed you can find here: MFA

Only seven days, if you have ticket out of the kingdom in that time.

Reminds me of one time in Samui immigrations.

French: I need 14 day extension.

Lady: Sorry, only 7 days.

French: OK no problem 7 days here and the seven days in BKK.

Lady: no sorry max seven days.

French: But I can make another seven days in BKK.

Lady: sorry can not do.

French: Don't bullshit me ( angry) can I speak to your boss.

Lady : No Problem.

French: This Bi***tch will not give me 14 day extension.

Officer: Can I see your passport and ticket out out Thaland within seven days.

French: Here's my passport, I came here on one way ticket.

Officer:: Sorry can not give you seven day extension, You must leave Thailand before 24.00.

Dear TV Forum Members,

Here is a report on my non-immigrant, multi-entry ‘b’ visa run to KL.

I left on 14/9/09 and returned on 16/9/09. This is the third year in row that I have been there for this specific purpose. I’d rather go to Penang, but my company only has 2 million Baht in registered capital. Penang requires 8 million, but the relevant documentation needed is the same. I already have a work permit, but not 4 employees.

Here are the docs needed:

• Passport w/ validity not less than 6 months.

• Completed application form.

• Recent passport-sized photograph (1)

• Company letter to facilitate the need of this type of visa

• Employment contract

• Copies of all pages of my work permit

• Business registration and business license

• List of shareholders

• Company profile & details of business operation: articles of association

• Map of the company’s location

• Balance sheet, statement of income tax and business tax (Por Ngor Dor 50 and Por Ngor Dor 30) of the latest year

• VAT registration (Por Por 20)

You have to sign each page of all docs submitted.

Apply for your visa and turn in the docs from 9:30-11:30 and pick it up the next day from 14:30-16:30. The cost for the visa is 5,500 Baht. Even though I came early, there was already a que.

I flew Air Asia (AA) (roundtrip, of course & booked it on-line) for approximately 5,200 Baht, leaving at 7 am, to avoid Bangkok traffic. Good move. AA are what they are: no frills. If I weren’t on a budget, I’d fly another carrier, as they land in the LCCT (low cost carrier terminal) at KLIA (kuala lumpur international airport), which is separate from the other terminals and they are almost always late.

You then have to get from KLIA to KL Sentral (transport hub) which takes you into the city center. You can jump on a bus as you exit KLIA for about 80-90 Baht. The touts are there to direct you and take your money. It takes about an hour. Or you can upgrade to the KL Ekpres train, which is cleaner, cooler (style- & comfort-wise) and more civilized for about 340 Baht. It takes about 30 minutes. In any case, you will then be dropped off near the KL Monorail system, which is about a 5-10 minute walk. There used to be a relatively straight shot to the monorail, but there is some construction work going on and you are now diverted to the left and around it, but it’s no big hassle.

I stayed at Tune Hotel (for the third time), which is related to Air Asia in some way, shape or form. I booked a room (on-line again) with a queen-sized bed for about 1,300 Baht, 650 per night. Again, they are no frills. They pride themselves on a great bed and a great shower. They deliver on this.

In the lobby, there is a convenience store that sells all the basics, including beer, an unlce john’s kopitiam (coffee shop), a subway sandwich shop and an Internet café (hotel guests only, 30 minutes’ time, as a courtesy to others). Whether you book on-line or not, there are add-ons such as A/C and wireless Internet service (both for 12-24 hour increments). The rooms are very small (10-15 sq. m.), but clean. There is a floor towel, a safe, toilet paper and hangers in the room, but you have to provide everything else. You can buy a kit at the counter which includes soap, shampoo, shower gel and a towel (minimal cost & deposit for the key card and towel is also minimal). The types of guest you will encounter are small groups of young backpackers, other single budget travelers and locals visiting the capital. The staff are efficient, helpful/knowledgeable and speak English. Directly outside the hotel’s door to the right is a large city map too. You can catch a taxi to the Thai embassy (located on Jalan Ampang) near the hotel’s intersection. The typical taxi is an old beater box Proton model and the meter starts at 30 Baht. The trip to the embassy costs about 60-80 Baht, depending on traffic. Or you opt for the executive taxis, which are double the rate, but more modern and cleaner. As is always the case, you get what you pay for.

I converted everything into Baht by multiplying by 10, so if it’s 10 RM, then it’s approximately 100 Baht.

Hope this helps.

Previous reports have indicated 8 or 9 months remaining on WP to obtain multi-entry Non-B visa, otherwise just get single entry visa. This is first time I've seen 7 months.
