Residence visa - working overseas

Featured Replies

I have been legally married to a Thai for 18 months and have been obtaining 1 year multiple entry Non-Immigrant 'O' Visas ever since.

Q1 I work overseas, does this preclude me from applying for residence permit?

Q2. Once I have had 3 consequetive Non-Immigrant 'O' Visas may I apply for Residence permit?

Are you talking about a multi entry Non O visa issued abroad only......or are you getting a 12 month extension in Thailand from Immigration in Thailand ?

Just to clarify:

With this Non Immigrant O Visa Issued abroad, you can not actually get a work permit in Thailand ?

Correct ?

It shall be a  NON-B in order to apply for work permit, although there is some cases the labour department has granted a work permit with a NON-O.

The problems occurs when you tries to get a yeraly extension from the Immigration on basis of your work permit, they will then require a NON-B, and you are lost in the bureucrazy.

If you plan to work, get a NON-B to start with, not a NON-O-

Can you give some advice as how to get NON-Immigrant B
A B is more difficult to obtain....if your situation is as stated, why not stick to an O ? It suits your situation and is far less hassle. Where will you apply for the visa ?
