Extension Of Stay Based On Business

[innerspace]

I am currently on a single entry non-B with work permit and preparing to apply for my 1 year extension of stay.

Thai visa and google have thrown up a whole heap of semi-relevant info but I am struggling to find an exact list of documents needed to supply.

Most reports I have found seem to be based on marriage or retirement, not business.

The only list I have managed to find is below, is this accurate and do I need anything else?

If it makes any difference I will be applying in Jomtien.

Also the TM7 form I have downloaded has grey blobs at the start of each blank spot with a cursor in.

Does this mean the form should be typed?

And does it make a difference if it is completed in Thai or English?

Application Form T.M. 7

A copy of the passport (main page, visa page, entry stamp page)

One 4 x 6 cm. color photo

1900 baht fee

A recommendation letter from the company showing the positions of the applicant as well as the position of all foreigners working in the company and for what reasons these aliens must be employed

Work permit copies

The alien's personal tax details including: balance, profit and loss, entity income tax, Vat records for the past year

Certificate of entity registration, company registration certificate of limited company or commercial registration or VAT registration and list of partnerships

Yes the form can be computer filled in and printed. English is normal. Be sure to print on both sides of one A4 paper.

Is the list of required documents I found correct and complete?

Does anyone happen to have a more specific list, for example giving the official names/numbers of the required company documents?
