SamHuaHin Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I used to live in Thailand for many years and held NonB's via my own company, but I closed that when I left 5 years ago, Now I am coming back and will need to do same again, as I will be doing work in ecommerce and software development. I used to get 12 Mth NonB's in Australia before but now they only issues 3 months. So my question is - is there any advantage in getitng a 3 MOnth NonB before I come ie. will it make the 12 Month NonB easier/cheaper? If not I will not bother and just get tourist visa when I land.Can anyone suggest a good cheap honest (choose any 2!) lawyer in Phuket, or anywhere that can do a Phuket WP?

ubonjoe Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 If you can get the single entry non-b visa it would make things much easier since you could have a work permit issued. If not you would have to go out for a non-b visa once your are able to apply for the work permit. After getting the work permit you could get a multiple entry non-b visa in Penang if the work permit has at least 8 months reaming on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamHuaHin Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hi Joe Thanks for this info.So if I arrive with a 3mth nonB then I can seyup the new company and apply for a WP immed, then before the 3 mths is up head to KL etc for a renewal? Will the new Visa be a 12mth NonB or a 3Mth NonB ?if I have to apply for a new 3Mth every 3 motnhs this will get expensive, it needs to be a 12 month with the 90 day re-entry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anywhere else nearby it will only be a single entry visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a WP approval in your hands, nowhere in the SE Asia region is likely to issue even a single entry non immigrant 'b' and only Penang is reliable for a one year multiple entry non immigrant 'b visa, providing as ubonjoe has already posted, that you have a valid WP with at least 8 month validity remaining along with all the other required papers..
