Hi
I hold a valid work permit which started from 23/07/2553 expiring on the 05/10/2017 and n a new single non b visa Valid till 24/Jan/2017

 

Have try once before to get the visa extension at my local immigration office which is in Samut parkarn but was rejected many years ago due to reason I don't understand did not get approved 

 

I have provided all the papers they listed but they still need more papers so after providing the addition papers they need they still say they need more different type of papers but still not able to get my non b visa extension 

 

After that have not try getting extensions of visa from the local immigration office but get new non b visa from overseas Embessy 

 

I have been doing this for a few years n every time I was issue a new single 90 days non b visa

 

is it legal to keep doing this or I have to go to the local immigration to do the extension 

which I feel the same problem will happen 

 

thank you

 

 

You could get a multiple entry non-b visa in Penang if you have a work permit valid for at least 8 months. As long as you can get a single entry non-b visa there is nothing illegal about getting a new one every 90 days.

It seems that the company you are working for does not meet the requirements for an extension based upon working. It could be also that your salary does not meet the minimum requirements or the company does not have at least 4 Thai employees.

Here is a a list of requirements for the extension from the Bangkok immigration website. extension based upon working .pdf

The requirements can also be found in clause 2.1 of  Police Order 327/2557  basis for extension of stay. Also see the annexes at the end of the order.
