TLDR : Answer Summary
To prolong a multiple 6-month Thai visa, it's important to note that specific visa types have different extension rules. The Non-B visa, for example, typically cannot be extended beyond its initial duration. Some comments suggest you can apply for a 30-day extension at immigration, but for a longer stay, a new visa must be applied after leaving Thailand.

The visa shown is a single entry non B. You get 90 days when you enter on a non B.
You cannot extend a non B.
You just have to leave Thailand and get another visa.
Of course the visa expired years ago so I'm not really sure what Yana is asking.
A few years back (5?) it used to be possible to get a one year multi entry B visa this way, then they changed the rules so only people with a WP can get the one year. For people in my situation its single entry only. I may ask in Saigon if it has changed back but would be surprised if it has.
Letter of invitation from a Thai company, lots of paperwork from and about them, plus letter from overseas employer saying you are going to attend meetings and to do some consulting.
I'm actually setting up a Thai company but its taking longer than I thought.
I didn't even know you could get them without having either a WP3 receipt of having applied for a work permit or a real work permit and a pile of documentation from the company employing you.
Do you know if there are any limits to how many Non B's one can get from the same consulate? I'm about to head back to Saigon for my second in a row from there.
Sorry, I was referring to someone like me using single entry non B visas without being employed here.

I think the picture was for illustration purposes only. ;)
OFF TOPIC: of course you can extend a 90 day Non-B visa :/ You get documentation from your employer and apply for a yearly extension at the immigration office for 1900baht.

You can only extend once at immigration

Arive in Thai then 60day stamp out and back in. Do that again 60 days later. Just before your 6 months is up stamp out and enter again before your enter befor date and get another 60 day's then extend that 30 days. Giving you 9 months.

You cant really prolong it apart from a 30 day extention. You need to apply for a new visa.
