How can I successfully obtain a 1-year Multi-Entry Non-B Visa in Penang with a Work Permit?

@Sophie ******

thank you!

@Lewis *******

It depends, when you're a foreigner who like to work in a company it is 4 Thais to one work permit, if you married and your wife is the owner it is 2 Thais to one work permit, if the company is set up under BOI regulations or under the American treaty it differs. Difficult to give the correct answer. You ask why, well sometimes Immigration does follow Facebook and other pages on what you like to share, so no inside information being shared. And this is how far I let this discussion go about staff to get a work permit, This has nothing to do with Thai visa advice.

@Lewis *******

also you have to have paid up capital as well on your business, but 4 to one is rule of thumb unless you go BOI

@Adam ********

Why don’t they like to answer?

My original question was meant to say how many thai staff do you need to employ... apologies. I’ll try elsewhere for help. Thanks

@Sophie ******

Ok thanks. I thought you would have known having being a director and just obtained a work permit? 🤔 Am I missing something here?

@Sophie ******

Sorry my understanding was you needed a certain number of thai staff in order to obtain a work permit.

@Bertrand ******

merci 😊😊

This is the letter from your employer that describes the job and ask to the Thai consulate for a non B visa for a employee they need in their company. Must be signed by Thai Director.

@Sophie ******

what is the invitation letter they want?

This is good news indeed

@Sophie ******

that price seems wrong :/ Unless that has the agents fee added into it. I don't think that's the cost of the visa alone if you push your own paper at the consulate.

nope not from the thai consulate in Penang, you need at least 8 months left on your work permit there for the year-long. Or that was my understanding.
