simon43 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 My non-imm multi-visit 1 year B visa (whew!) expires in mid-March. I was issued the visa by the UK Hull consulate and so I'll go back to them for a new visa (I have a business now in Thailand). But I just want to check on one point. I hope to be able to apply for a residency visa in 2 years time (after I have held my B visa for 3 years). Do I simply request a new 1 year visa? Or do I ask for a 1 year extension to my existing visa? I read somewhere that its important not to break this B visa validity for even a single day - to ensure that you build up the 3 years of holding a B visa. cheers Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 If you have a business, you must have a work permit as well. Based on this apply for extension at immigration. The 3 year's rule only applies if you stay without interruption on the same visa (extented). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward B Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Get the extension - 1,900 baht. Do the same again in a year's time. After 3 years of extending the original you can apply for residency. See part 1. of the link below (about half way down after the Fees) http://www.thaivisa.com/300.0.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_Pat_Pong Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 It is 3 consecutive extended visa's. To extend while on a B visa you need that work permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
