Cat B Visa

[chippie]

Hello, I have a category B multiple entry visa that has nearly expired, I am british and 35 years old. I got the visa in England and underneath they have stamped 'No extension of stay' . Can I still get the extra 90 days just before it expires? Also does the visa run out from the date it was issued or one year from the day I entered thailand? Do I have to go back to England to get a new one year cat B multiple entry or can I go to a nearer country? Thanks.

The visa expires 1 year after it was issued.

As long as the visa has not expired you can do a visa run, out over one of the many border posts

and come back, receiving a new 90 day stamp

You can continue doing this until the visa expires.

You do not say why you were issued with the B visa?

If you now have a Work Permit and are paid sufficient salary your

employer will be able to extend your visa for a full year.

The stamp at the bottom about "No Extension of Stay" can be ignored.

If you do not have a job or sufficient salary you may be able to obtain a new

visa in Penang, if you are able to provide the necessary paperwork.
