I need some clarification please. I have a 3 month non B visa and a work permit. I have a registered company with one Thai staff at the moment of which I am the Managing Director. I would like to know the options for extending my visa to a one year visa so that I do not have to keep applying every 3 months.
Does it make any difference if I become sole director of my company or does the criteria for extending remain the same, i.e. I need to employ 4 Thai staff. Are there any other options?
Also, what sort of cost am I looking at here? Is 25,000 for a non B visa extension reasonable?
Thank you for your help.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on extending their 3-month Non-B visa, as they are currently the Managing Director of a registered company with one Thai employee. They want to know if becoming the sole director would affect their chances of extending to a one-year visa that requires employing at least 4 Thai staff members, along with the associated costs. Responses suggest a standard cost for visa extension is 1,900 THB, contingent on fulfilling specific requirements such as income taxes, social security contributions, and salaries for Thai employees. There's a distinction between extending the visa domestically and applying for a multi-entry Non-B visa abroad, with stricter requirements if pursued through the Immigration Office.
