Penang Visa Report

[joe84330]

Just left the consulate and the man taking my app for a non b noticed I was applying for only a 3 month non b.

He asked me why I wasn't applying for a one year, so I told him it will be extended for one year on samui. His response was "ok, just want you to know that you can get a multiple entry 1year visa here now"

Thought that might be useful info for some of you.

Thanks for your report, Did you already have Work Permit?

Penang is know to issue multiple non-B's on condition of work permit with at least 8 months remaining plus usual company papers plus company capitalisation of at least THB 8M

So the question is if you met these requirements or not.

Ah, yes then I believe I meet each of those requirements. Had thought this was something new.

Just talking with Jim here and he says they are being very accommodating with most visas here now in order to fund the new consulate expansion plans.
