samui543 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Am just in Penang at the moment to get Non B Visa (successful), however friends who are here alongside many others are being rejected tourist visas. 7 in the hotel i am staying in yesterday- today not know how many- other hotels,agencies again numbers are not know. Reason being they are told that no longer can you have a 30 day extension from Thailand. This has only been implied i was told during the last 2 months. This information is only what i have been told by the hotel and by people that have been rejected- i am sure others who have returned from Penang recently can update/advise others. *On another note, Monday and Tuesday forthcoming Embassy in Penang is shut for Ramadan. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHJ Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 but you got only 3 month, not one year right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 For one year non-B in Penang your company must have 8 million baht registered capital. Kuala Lumpur is best for 1 year non-B, but you must have at least 8 months validity in your work permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has only been implied i was told during the last 2 months. Thanks for the info. Can I just clarify? Those who have a 2 month Tourist Visa with the 1,900baht 1 month extension from a Thai immigration office cannot now get another 2 month Tourist Visa after the extension has expired. Is that correct? Do you know about people who had a 2 month Tourist Visa with no extension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually there is no such limit on the number of border entries you can make - but after four they may start to question your reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
