Can I extend my 3-month Non-Immigrant B visa to a 1-year visa with multiple re-entries in Samui?
I have a 3 month non imm. B visa and work permit on a new company of which I am a shareholder and Director. This is the first visa issued and I will have to do something before July 1. Can I extend this to a 1 year with multiple reentry here in Samui or do I have to leave again and get a whole new b visa? Thanks
Answer summary
The user is inquiring about extending their 3-month Non-Immigrant B visa and work permit as a shareholder and director of a company. They need clarification on whether they can extend the visa to a 1-year duration with multiple re-entries in Koh Samui or if they must leave the country to obtain a new visa. The comments suggest that if documentation for extension is not met, visiting a Thai consulate in Penang for a new multi-entry Non-B visa is an option, which would require border-bouncing every 90 days.

If you are unable to meet the documentation requirement at the immigration office for a yearly extension you could go to the thai consulate in Penang and get a year-long, multi-entry Non-B visa.
That visa would require you to border-bounce (exit/re-enter the country) every 90 days..

You would take documentation from your company to the immigration office there and apply for a yearly extension of stay for 1900baht. Stop by there before your current stamp expires and get the hand out of what's required for the extension.

I have gone before for other things and found that if I go there the day before get all the docs ready then go 15 mins before they open I am out of there really quicklyDario **********
Samui immigration here in Mae Nam are oddly efficient and speedy. They will have you in and out in under an hour. Best to go at 09:00, before the rush.
