Hi! I am a South African teaching in Phuket and need to do my visa run for non immigrant B before 18 December. Can anyone tell where I can go to as I have been informed that South Africans cannot be helped in Penang anymore. Not sure if it is true. Thanks in advance.

You can convert your Tourist Visa to an Non Immigrant B visa with help of your school at the Phuket Immigration Office. There are some reports that Kota Bharu is still serving Non Immigrant B visa for South African, but strong advice is to contact them before you travel.
