Good morning. 

Does anyone know if it's still possible to get a 12 month ME Non-B in London, Cardiff or Hull?  Or are they only doing 90 days now? 

It's for an employee (not MD or shareholder). 

Thanks in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary

An individual inquired about obtaining a 12-month multi-entry Non-B visa from Thai consulates in London, Cardiff, or Hull, questioning whether they currently only offer a 90-day visa. Community responses indicated that although some consulates might only provide short-term visas, the Thai consulate in London confirmed that it's still possible to apply for a 12-month Non-B visa. It’s suggested to apply in person or inquire with the consulate directly for the most accurate information regarding documentation and processing times.

You need to get your company to check Embassy website for the list of docs. It's different from Penamg.

Thanks so much for quick response. Mine will be my 4th 1 year multi entry, I normally get them in Penang, is there anything extra I need to get my accountant to prepare that is different for London?

Hi, did you apply by post or in person? If it was by post how long did it take? I am going to the UK in a few weeks but will only be there for 10 days maximum and dont really want to go into London. (I am also a share holder)

Quick update in case it's helpful for others: London Embassy finally replied and it seems you CAN still apply for a 1 year ME Non-B.

Every consulate in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland have to obtain authorisation from the London Embassy to issue that particular visa. As Tod mentioned, better to just go direct to London and I would be surprised if you get the ME I’m pretty sure they will only give the 90 days from what I have heard

I think your best chance would be the thai consulate in London.

, you're just applying for an extension so you can go when you have 30 days or less left on your current stamp. They ADD the year extension to your current expiration date so you don't lose any time going early.

Go by the phuket immigration office and get the hand out as far as the required documentation

You would need documentation from your employer to get an extension of stay at the immigration office where you work.

Not sure what ME visa is but the non B, require you to send info in first by email, they send to london get the approval, once approved they email you to come and pick up the visa, but you must bring the original documents.

Can any of the consulates in the UK issue any ME visas off the bat anymore? I believe they simply send the applications to London for approval.

also neither Hull nor Cardiff offer a year-long, multi-entry Non-Immigrant Type B visa that I could see on their website, just a 90 day single entry.

That's gonna take you contacting those consulates and asking them. So few people actually go that far to get a Non-B I doubt you're gonna get any good solid answers.

I do know for sure that a person recently got a year-long, mulit-entry Non-B from the thai consulate in Monaco without being a share holder or a managing director, BUT that's all I know.
