Our companies Managing Director obtained Non Immig. B Visa but single entry, so allowed to stay in TH max 90 days from the entry date. 

My question if he  can obtain WP under this Visa and if can re-issue Non immig. B Visa M one year type new one from inside TH without exit.

Thanks

Answer summary

The Managing Director holding a single-entry Non-Immigrant B Visa can obtain a work permit, but it is contingent on the company and the Ministry of Labour. However, they cannot convert this single-entry visa to a one-year multi-entry Non-B Visa from inside Thailand; instead, they could apply for a one-year extension of stay at the immigration office.

NO they can't get a year long multi-entry Non-B VISA inside the country :( They could (with the correct documentation) get a year long extension of stay from the immigration office and then after that apply for a multiple re-entry permit

And as far as them getting a work permit that is between the company they work for and the Ministry if Labour (it's not a thai VISA question)

You can get the visa extended inside the country for 1 year, though.

You cannot get a year-long, multi-entry Non-B visa INSIDE the country

:/ You get them from a thai consulate in another country
