Could anyone tell me about the steps for upgrading my current non-b work visa to allow multiple entries/exits from the country (I.e. travel to Laos for a few days and then return)? I'm having trouble finding the information I need. Thanks in advance!

*yes, go get the extension at immigration, but I mean can it be done in one day or is there a wait, are there any extra documents to bring, what is the cost, etc?
Answer summary
To upgrade your non-b work visa for multiple entries, you need to apply for an extension at immigration which costs around 1900 baht. The extension can sometimes be processed immediately or may require a 30-day consideration period before the full extension is granted. After your extension, purchase a re-entry permit; a single re-entry will cost you 1000 baht, while a multiple re-entry is 3800 baht. It’s important to note that the validity of the re-entry permit depends on the status of your current visa.

You GO apply for your yearly extension at the immigration office for 1900baht.

Sometimes Non-B extensions get a 30 day under consideration stamp (meaning you go back after 30 days and get the year extension inked in) but sometimes the year is issued on the spot.

You apply for the extension and then you buy a re-entry permit, a single re-entry is 1000baht and a multiple re-entry is 3800baht. They are stamped in while you wait.

Remember the re-entry permit stamp is valid as long as your current stamp is good for

So if when you apply for your year extension you get the 30 day under consideration stamp any re-entry permit you buy will be good ONLY for that 30 day period and after you get the year extension inked in you'd need to buy a new one.
