Good morning. I have a work permit for one year as a general manager of a resort. Last year I got a non-immigrant b multiple entry visa for one year in penang. Last week I went to penang again to make my new visa. The only gave me a single entry for 3 months and told me that I need to be director or shareholder to get the one year visa as per new rules.
Does somebody know if there is any other embassy still doing one year visas for my case or if there are other possibilities to get it? Thanks in advance
TLDR : Answer Summary
An expat with a work permit and a previous non-immigrant B multiple entry visa faced challenges obtaining a new one-year visa at the Penang consulate, which now restricts issuance to company directors or shareholders. Community members discussed alternatives, including a possible one-year multi-entry Non-B visa available from the Thai consulate in Kota Bharu, and suggested considering visa extensions instead of reapplying for a new visa.
