Hi, A quick question

Do you know if the Kota Bharu Thai Consulate is doing the Non Immigrant B visa multiple entry. Thanks
Answer summary
The message inquires about the issuance of multiple entry Non-Immigrant B visas at the Kota Bharu Thai Consulate. Responses indicate that these visas were available, especially for individuals with more than 20% ownership in a company, with previous success shared by users. It is also noted that policy changes at consulates may affect issuance, particularly concerning shareholder requirements.

Also a for a shareholder - Farang or Thai - he or she does not automatically become a Director. A Director has to be appointed by a majority percent shareholders. A Director is the only shareholder who can make decisions - sign contracts, make tax filings, sign financial reports or create bank accounts, etc. In my opinion I do see any Company assigning a 20% shareholder as a Director.

The terminology used is 'share holder' / shares. Starting with the fact that most Thai Registered Companies (Co.,LTD.) have one - usually two Thai partners who are designated in the Company Certificate as owning 51% of the shares. That leaves 49% to divide up. Plus it most often means 2 to 4 additional Thai employees for every additional foreign share holder. This may not apply to BOI companies.

You either are a managing director OR you hold 20% or more stock in the company you work for. If you don't meet either of those criteria all you get is a 90 day single entry Non-B

Yes. I had one multiple b visa and two multiple o visas issued there in beginning of April but I do have more than 20 % ownership of the company.

Penang and Kota Bharu were the only consulates that used to issue them and once they changed policy that was it.

IT's not all embassies and consulates. It's only those two that were issuing year-long, multi-entry Non-B's in Malaysia (Penang & Kota Bharu)

Yes new rules in all Embassy now you have to be share holder and you can get it. If only employee they only give you 3 months.
