What Documents Are Required for a One-Year Non-B Visa Extension in Thailand?

That will be a boat ride to Krabi town, visit the Ministry of Labor and just around the corner the Immigration Office to clear the dispensation of having Thai staff in a company. If cleared take the hand out back to the office and make the copies needed for each staff member to apply for the Extension of Stay. If well prepared they go in the morning and can be back in the afternoon. Good luck.

For the list that was needed I posted an update here a few days ago after extending my visa successfully.

4 Thais per one foreigner, salary suggested by my lawyer not less then 10 k per Thai worker

And just for your information. There must be 4 Thai employees in the company to apply for a Work Permit for a foreigner is a rule of the Ministry of Labor.

>To clarify they already have work permits and were attempting to renew their 3 month Non B visa.

Visas can't be renewed. It sounds like they were trying to buy new visas.

> However they have been informed that they need to obtain an extension of stay in Bangkok.

That sounds reasonable. A single entry non-B visa for employment should give the employer enough time to collect the documents required for an extension of stay based on employment.

>What other documents are required please

Depends on the immigration office you're using.

I have questions:

1. What consulate denied them the visa, OR where they denied and if so, why?

2. What are their nationalities?

Which Thai Consulates are now denying a Non B Visa?

That's excatly what happen to me last year , i was getting year long multi entry visa from embassy in Yangon, so now i have year long extension from CW. they need to know if you have enough Thai staff or not and more .... it is getting harder now for that way.
