What are the options for obtaining a 1-year business visa in Thailand?

No, you can also visit the Immigration Office in your area and apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay based on employment and when stamped in your passport, apply for the Multiple Re-Entry Permit. BIg benefit is that no more visa/border runs are needed. You need to report every 90 days at Immigration, first time in person after that can do on-line,

Extension of Stay cost 1.900 Thb, Re-Entry Permit 3.800 Thb, total cost of 5.700 Thb, much cheaper than travel abroad apply for a 1 year visa, and travel again every 90 days.

. It may not what you want to hear. But its the best this forum has to offer you.

Good Luck.

I'll give you the same answer I posted on BANGKOK EXPATS when you asked the question there ;)

The ONLY option that I know of in the area is the thai consulate in Penang Malaysia or the one in Kota Bharu Malaysia. To get the year-long, multi-entry Non-B from them you need to be listed as a managing director on the paperwork for the company (and at least as a director on your work permit) AND you need to hold 20% of the stock in your name in addition to the rest of the required paperwork.

Without those things you can't get anything but a 90 day single entry from them AND unless I'm wrong all you can get from the rest of the consulates nearby is a 90 day single entry Non-B..

Are you Managing Director ? Director?

Shareholder ?

Employee with Thai Work Permit?

Your nationality is ?

What visa do you now have?

You mean a one year multiple entry visa based on having a business? I believe the only two consulates that sell them are Penang and Kota Bharu. You are a business owner, right?

Look at the Thai Consulate requirements for the visa.
