Extending Permission To Stay On Multi-Entry Non-B

[NanLaew]

A question regarding entry on a multiple-entry Non-B visa. Is it allowed to file for an extension on the 90-days permission to stay or does the person need to leave and re-enter? If extensions are possible, how long can the extension be?

Thanks,

NL

Yes certainly, providing you meet the usual conditions/criteriae for extension (business, marriage, etc).

I think what has been posted is for extension of the visa rather than for extension of the current 90-day permission to stay. But, if I am wrong and this is the relevant 'one-size, fits-all' procedure, it looks like the only extension issued is for a whole 12 months. The guys I am dealing with only realistically need another 40-60 days in the country. Their project wraps up in March/April.

Thanks again.

You can only extend a non-immigrant visa entry by meeting the requirements for a 1 year extension of stay.

(Besides getting a 7 days to leave the country or 60 days if you are marreid to a Thai national)

OK, that's decided then. They can leave and come back.
