What are the recommended embassies for renewing a 1-year business visa from Koh Phangan?

@Mark ********

I think I know what it is and what the reasoning is behind it

It probably has to do with the work permit not being valid for 8 months (which is what you need to get a year-long, multi-entry Non-B.

Many times I've seen people get sent out with only the WP3 (receipt of having applied for a work permit) to get a 90 day single entry Non-B, then come back GET their work permit (which is valid for a year) and then go back and get the year-long, multi-entry Non-B visa.

Best to check with your accountant(lawyer/agency) who preps the papers for you where to submit.

@Mark ********

keep in mind you're NOT renewing anything :O You're going to a thai consulate in another country to BUY a NEW year-long, multi-entry Non-B visa.

AND as

@El***

pointed out there are only a couple consulates in the area that will issue them (for SURE Penang and Kota Bharu and maybe Yangon)

Also remember that they have specific requirements (listed as a managing director on the company, listed as at least a director on the work permit, holding a certain percentage of the stock etc).

:3 :3 💫

If you mean Non-B multiple entry (1 year), only Penang and Kota Bharu, Malaysia issue in SEA.. Yangon, Myanmar also issues multiple entry, but is said for foreigner (not Burmese), decision to issue will be made case by case.

Other consulates issue only single entry.
