Non-Imm B Visa Visa Extension Thailand Visa Rules Business Visa Multiple Entry Visa

Hello. Few scenarios, bear with me...

1. Can a Non-Imm B single entry 90 day visa, based on invite from a Thai company to conduct business be extended within Thailand at Thai immigration to 1 year (with a multi-reentry permit added later). If so, what are the requirements?

- or -

2. Are the only options a single entry 90 day visa or a multiple entry 1 year visa (with the latter only allowing 90 days maximum per entry during its one year validity)?

A 1 year extension with a muti-reentry permit would be preferable than a muti-entry visa but I don't think that's an option. 

Lastly 

3. Can the Non-Imm B single entry 90 day visa be converted to a Non-Imm B Multiple entry visa within Thailand? Guessing no but might as well check.

Thanks all.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The Non-Imm B single entry 90-day visa, issued for business purposes, cannot be extended within Thailand to a one-year visa. The options available are only a single-entry 90-day visa or a multiple-entry one-year visa, which allows for multiple entries of up to 90 days each, but does not permit extension from the single-entry visa. Additionally, it is not possible to convert a Non-Imm B single entry visa to a Non-Imm B multiple entry visa while in Thailand.

Tod *********

A Non-B to 'conduct business' is totally different from a Non-B based on employment where you hold a work permit etc. It cannot be extended inside the country, you either get the single entry 90 day or you get the year long, multi-entry that has unlimited 90 day entry for the validity of the visa

These are the answers based on you getting a Non-B visa with an invite from a thai company to 'conduct business".

1 - No

2 - Yes

3 - No
