Hi everyone. Is it possible for me to apply for a business visa within Thailand? I had left Thailand as required, and waited in Malaysia for 3 weeks for the paperwork to be issued by the Thai Ministry of Labor. The paperwork was approved, but unfortunately there was a delay in being sent to me. Malaysia issued a shutdown, so I left and entered Thailand on a 30 day exemption on arrival.
Now it seems that re-entering Thailand will be very difficult, or not possible, let alone the difficulty of leaving the country to apply for the Visa. The company I will be working under is a private Ltd company. I am currently in Ko Phanghan Thailand and my exemption runs out on 16th April, with the possibility to extend a further 30 days at Koh Samui. So, can I apply for the business visa here in Thailand?
I believe that there is a time limit on the validity of the paperwork from the ministry of Labor but I'm not sure, if someone can confirm this too I will be grateful!
Thank you so much!
