Which Thai consulates issue the Non-B multiple entry 1-year visa for employees or shareholders?

I think thats likely to be the case here. Its a huge list of docs, i cant see any company being able to meet even half that criteria.

One more thing, many many companies were sending their employees out of the country to get those year-long, multi-entry Non-B visas because for one reason or another they couldn't meet the documentation requirements inside the country to get a yearly extension. :/

Cant thank you enough for your help. Expert advice!

@Ro**

or just stop into your immigration office, most of them have a hand out that lists everything you need.

@T**

Thanks so much for this. Im not sure if my company can provide all the documentation detailed on the site but its worth a go.

@Roni *****

You need to understand the difference between a year-long, multi-entry Non-B visa <- that you used to get from a thai consulate and where you bounced out and back in every 90 days

AND

A year long extension of stay <- that you get from the thai immigration office in your area.

They are TOTALLY different things, require very different documentation.

It has nothing to do with the government NOT wanting people here and EVERYTHING to do with the government wanting people here on yearly extensions and NOT on visas they bounce out and in on every 90 days.

As i just wrote down, every Immigration office has their own special requirement but they do give hand outs with a list of those requirements. The general requirements are on the link I provided.

@Robert ******

I can visit a local immigration office for this? What requirements would i need to bring with me to support? I cant thank you enough for this absolutely invaluable help. If this works out i will build a weird shrine and hero worship you!

Most Immigration offices have a hand out with their requirements, but the general info you can find here:

I would honestly love to know the answer because this will kill me and im only trying to do the right thing and live within the requirements of the Kingdom

30 days before your Admitted to Stay period ends you visit Immigration office and apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay.

OK so please advise me that on how i now go about getting 1 year biz visa? Because i work for a company and now im only allowed 3 months per time. As apposed to every other year i was allowed a 1 year visa.

@Ro**

, the Consulate changed, they sell visa's. The requirements of getting the WP and Extension of Stay did not change. So you buy a visa, come to Thailand collect your WP and apply for the Extension of Stay. That is how the system should work, not buy a visa, go abroad buy a visa and continue this for years.

Yes they have. you can now only get 3 months unless your a shareholder or company owner. My last year under work permit status was a 1 year biz visa. So yes these are new changes.

You did some research before you got a Work Permit and extension of stay. Those requirements did not change the last 15 years since I'm here.
