12-month multi non-B in the region (with work permit)

[thatmanagain]

Hi guys,

I'm a British national currently employed in Bangkok - came in on a single-entry non-B issued at the Thai Embassy in London, which expires in a few weeks.

I picked up my work permit last week, all my papers are in order, but it seems like I am not going to be able to organise a 12-month extension of stay based on WP before my current permission to stay expires.

Is there anywhere in the region (Embassy, Consulate) where I can still obtain a 12-month multiple-entry non-B, issued on the basis of my current work permit?

I am pretty sure I can get this done in the UK, but would rather not travel that far unless I really need to!

The embassy in Phnom Penh would be my preferred destination as I have friends over there, but I'm guessing that's a bit optimistic.

Thanks in advance.

The only nearby location that will do a multiple entry non-b is Penang Malaysia. You need at least 9 months remaining on your work permit to get it and have all the required documents from your employer.

Thanks - I assume the same documents I showed to get my single-entry non-B in London will suffice?

I think this is the Consulate's website: http://www.thaiembassy.org/penang/

But clicking on their Visa section takes me here: http://www.consular.go.th/main/th/services/1287

Unfortunately my Thai is not good enough to read that page, and there doesn't seem to be an English-language version.

Seems strange to set up a website that's only useful to foreigners, and to only have the content available in Thai. But what do I know
