ORIGINAL POSTERApparently being issued in Penang regarding a single entry non b visa.
TLDR : Answer Summary
There have been reports of difficulties in obtaining a Single Entry Non-B visa in Penang, with some applications being denied due to multiple entries in the applicant's history. Updated information from the Thai Embassy in Kuala Lumpur indicates that specific documentation is now required for back-to-back Non-B applications. Despite this, there have been successes reported with multiple entry Non-B visas under certain conditions. The community is closely monitoring changes in visa issuance practices.

So, as Phang Nga mainly issues 6 month wp to most foreign employees, does anyone know if Phang Nga immigration can issue a 3 month extention of stay as it appears another local consulate may not issue back to back non b? Thanks

Penang was issuing back to back 90day non-b visa via an agent as of Monday last week, but obviously this can change maybe contact

Correct.

nope, it is 1 year Extension of Stay based on working.
There is no minimum length of validity of work permit as requirement for the Extension of Stay.

Was this issued when Non-B single is rejected / voided or warning for next application when it's issued?

Two weeks ago you could still get the multi entry directorial Visa with no issues in Penang. Regarding back to back single non b, they have questioned me last year, saying they might deny if I do a single entry non b again next time, that was a verbal warning. When I came to them with all the paperwork regarding being a director they issues the multi entry non b with no question or any comments.

I think the requirements for getting a multiple entry non-B and a single entry Non-B are a lot different. I get the feeling the single entry Non-B back-to-back are used by Scuba dive teachers in the southern islands.

The attached document written in Thai specifies a list of other documentation required before they will issue a back to back non-b so it is still possible to obtain them.

And now we have updated NonB Business visa reports from KL and Penang. We will be watchful for other reports.

it was from the Thai Embassy in Kuala Lumpur. The girl had multiple Single Entry Non Immigrant B visa in her passport.
And the application got denied with this reason.
a Friend of her posted it a few days ago, forgot the name.
