ORIGINAL POSTER

... Hi everyone, hope this is not an annoying question, but I need advise or suggestions! My husband has a non-b and work permit in Pattaya. He has his own company selling South African Biltong. I have a non-o visa, following him. Next month our first 1-year visa expires. Can we go to Immigration in Chonburi direct to extend our visas with twelve months or do we have to work through the same agent that initially assisted in his first non-b and my non-o? We are not sure about the required documentation and all his company papers are with him. Are there any doc's required from Department of Labor or Ministry of education that only this agent can obtain? Apologies if my question is inappropriate, but I need to start somewhere to find out.  Greetings.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on extending their non-O visa and their husband's non-B visa in Pattaya, Thailand, as their current visas are set to expire. They are unsure whether to go directly to the Immigration Office in Chonburi for the extension or continue working with the same agent who initially assisted them. Comments provide suggestions that they can directly visit Immigration to obtain the necessary documentation requirements and that the husband can manage the process without the need for a lawyer, but may need assistance from an accountant to gather required company papers and reports.

Linda, your husband could do this himself but most companies have at least a contract accountant which is actually a necessity for required monthly and yearly reports that form the basis of the required documents to get another extension of stay. In no way is a lawyer required with the exception of original company formation. Hiring an accountant by contract is a normal business activity here in Thailand. An accountant can get all original company records from the DBD (Business Department, the Revenue Department, the Social Security Tax Office and perhaps the Ministry of Labor (Work Permit). These Departments can also provide copies of all required monthly reports and payments such as the Social Security "Social Fund" tax payments made by the 15th. of each month (paid at an authorized bank normally), the Revenue Dept. will have copies of the salary tax payments on your husband's required salary (PND1 and PND91) and Company tax payment reports. You will also need a copy of last year's Balance Sheet (a required Audited financial report). An experienced Accountant can find and assemble a document packet required for a new Extension of Stay. And usually at a price much lower than what a lawyer charges (the lawyer likely hires an accountant to do this and tacks on his/her lawyer fee.)
