Hi guys, my 1 year multiple non-b expires 21.11. And my 3 months comes up 11.11. Can i still do a bounce and get 90 days, or should i already apply for another 1 year visa? This is my first 1 year non-b so not sure how it is. My WP is valid until 2020.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses options for extending a one-year NON-B visa, which is set to expire soon. The original poster asks if they can do a visa 'bounce' to receive another 90 days or if they should apply for another one-year visa. Comments suggest that with a valid work permit, applying for an Extension of Stay could be a more viable option.

With a work permit valid until 2020, why not just get an annual Extension of Stay?

, the requirements for a yearly extension are FAR more stringent than what is normally needed at a thai consulate to get a year-long, multi-entry Non-B visa.

Many, MANY companies send their employees out of the country to get a visa like that rather than jump thru the hoops at the immigration office for a yearly extension of stay.

Much the same as when applying for a non-B. Costs 1,900 baht and can be done at your Immigration office in Thailand. I don't have the links, but I'm sure someone will post them.

If you bounce out and back in on the 11th (the date your current admitted until stamp expires) you will get stamped in for another 90 days; taking you to almost 15 months in country on that visa.
