Hello,

I just saw on the Siam Legal website that there is a 1 year non-immigrant visa for US citizens. Does anyone have experience with this service and/or know what type of visa (or on what grounds) they apply for? Would it be possible to apply for the visa directly with the consulate without having to pay the Siam Legal fee?

Thanks in advance for any information. I was quite surprised to hear about this, as I've read this forum extensively and never heard of this option.

Cheers

They supply you with the paperwork to get a multiple entry non-b visa that will give you 90 day entries for a year. You have to leave the country every 90 days.

There is no guarantee you will get the visa when you apply for it.

If you could get the documents required from a company in the states you could get the visa yourself. See this webpage for requirements. http://www.mfa.go.th/main/en/services/123/15388-Non-Immigrant-Visa-%22B%22-(for-Business-and.html

Using their service is a complete wast of your money.I used them for a visa and sponsorship all they did was send me the forms to fill out and than most of the time i had to take them in myself.On top of that they were vary slow and vary unorganized they filled for my visa witch i was denied for . after this they told me they will filled for my sponsorship and the sponsorship will have better chance getting my temporary visa . well they could have started my sponsorship application way before at the same time.8 month later i am no closer, all in all lost a wast of time with them.

ps when i talked to them on the phone they gave me the response they are slow because they have so many application they have to do.
