I will need to renew my business visa this year. The date the visa expires is 8th June. I left the country recently so the stamp in my passport states I am entitled to stay in the kingdom until the 27th of July. Should I plan to go to Penang before the visa expires, (8th June) or before the 27th of July?

Also my work permit has just been renewed last month.

Answer summary

The user is seeking advice on when to go to Penang for a visa run to renew their business visa, debating between going before the expiration date of June 8th or before July 27th when their current stamp allows them to stay in Thailand. Commenters provide insights, emphasizing that it's possible to apply for an extension based on the work permit at a local immigration office and caution that when applying for a visa renewal after a long stay, the work permit should have at least 8 months of validity.

Hi Kerry, you can stay till 27th July. Then you can do a visarun to Penang to get new Non Immigrant B visa. Just be adviced that, when people use their visa more than 12 months, Penang Consulate check how many months of remaining validity your work permit have, it must have at least 8 months of validity. In your case, work permit renewed in April, new visa applied next July, it should be ok. Feel free to send me message if you need more info.

Do you live in Phangan or Samui?
