Non Immigrant B Muti Entry And Work Permit Info

[dogeatinghotchips]

Hi,

I just need a quick answer as I keep on reading and hearing different things. I currently have a 1 year non immigrant B multiple entry visa and hold a current work permit. My question is do I still need to leave the country every 90 days or are there ways around this? I'm based in Chiang Mai.

Cheers

If you have a Visa issued by a Thai Consulate you need to leave the country every 90 days.

If you qualify and your company can provide the correct paperwork you can apply for a 12 month extension from Immigration.

2.1 In the case of business such

as employment with a

company or partnership, etc.:

Permission will be granted for a

period of not more than 1 year

at a time.

(1) The alien must have a temporary visa

out in the Income Table attached hereto; (exhibit a)

(3) The business concerned must have a registered capital of

not less than Baht 2 million, fully paid-up;

(4) The business concerned must have duly submitted its

financial statement as at the end of the two fiscal years and

financial condition and an on-going active business as

attached order (exhibit

(5) The business needs to employ the aliens

(6) The business concerned must have a ratio of 1 alien to 4

Thanks for the reply, so a trip out every 90days it is! The company complies and I should get my extension. Are there any ways to avoid this 90 day excursion in my circumstances? - No, I don't want to get married. Cheers

Not unless you obtain an extension of stay (and that includes for marriage) as visa entry is only 90 days each.

To my knowledge you don't have to leave the country every 90 days because you have a valable VISA.

I have the same thing like you and all I have to do is report every 90 days to immigration that I still stay in Thailand.

Basically you go to immigration, report your place of residence every 90 days and go back. Process takes about 1 hour and quicker if you're lucky.

Before I forget,

Normally you should have a small piece of paper attached to your passport on the last page telling you when you have to go to immigration for your next report.

If this is the case, you don't need to leave the country at all but just show yourself at immigration.

[lopburi3]

Unless you obtain an extension of stay from immigration using a TM.7 and meeting requirements you must leave every 90 days. Reporting address does not change that requirement - you must have a stamp in your passport "permitted to stay" to be here legally.

The pdfs above are 90 day address report reciepts and have nothing to do with Visas and Work Permits.

The OP has a Multi Entry Non Imm B Visa and has to leave the country every 90 days.

That is a fact and there is no way round it.

Maybe I'm wrong but check the stamp in the passport next to the receipt.

And I can tell you that it is true because it is my second NON-B already.

But maybe my case is different, so I won't argue about this.

Just trying to help

Those are 90 day report receipts. Everyone who stays in the country for 90 days has to do this.

It's a totally different process from Visas or extensions.

You have an extension from within Thailand, the OP has a Visa from outside, big difference.

Maybe everyone has his thought about this but I don't have to leave the country after 90 days.Maybe you have to do with other visas, don't know but you can ask immigration yourself. It's my second year here already and I was never asked to leave the country.

I just need to show myself at immigration office in BKK and they stamp my passport.

But like I said maybe my case is different.

Your case is considerably different from the OP, you do not have to do a border run as your Visa has been extended in Thailand and is now known as an Extension of Stay. The original Poster has a visa obtained from outside of Thailand, and it is a multiple entry, which means he or she must leave Thailand every 90 days to continue staying here.

You report every 90 days this is called "90 day reporting".

[loserlazer]

man, all you need to do us reporting yourself to immigration bureau every 90 days and that is all. It does not matter where you got it or if it s 3 months or a year non b visa

If you make a mistake to leave thailand ~ any border run, any immigration check out~ you lose your visa and permit instantly without a re entry permit.

Keep in mind.

To the OP, you must leave Thailand to start the 90days again, the best way to stop this is to actually apply for an extension within Thailand if you can meet the requirements, when you have this extension of stay, you only report every 90days to the Immigration office where you got your extension from. A lot easier and cheaper in the long run.

As said if you have a Visa you have to leave the country every 90 days.

If you have an extension of stay you report to Immigration every 90 days.

The chip eating dog has a Visa.

Superdude has an extension of stay. Not a Visa.

Two different things entirely.

Thanks for all your replies it is now clear to me what my options are. I will see if I'm eligible for an extension to stay, in order to save the border runs. Would I apply for this at the immigration in Chiang Mai? If I was to get an extension to stay would this invalidate the multiple entry permissions I have? I may have to leave on business from time to time. Thanks

If that is where you live then apply there.

[lopburi3]

If living in Chiang Mai you would apply for the one year extension of stay there.

And also a Re Entry Permit if you intended leaving during the year.

Single costs 1,000 baht. Multi 3,800 baht.
