Hello group! Hopefully I can get some good answers here. I'm posting for a friend who isn't on facebook.

My friend got a job with a start up company here, and went out of Thailand to get a non B visa, and has already received a work permit. It has taken a while to get the company set up, and the current non B expires in 1.5 weeks.

My friend has heard that with work permit, you can do border bounces every 3 months and get Non B extensions. Is this still true? If so, where is the best/easiest Thai embassy to go to, and what paperwork would be required? What are the downsides if the border bounce visa (on work permit) needs to be renewed multiple times? The company building is still under construction.

Just looking for a back up plan in case the set up for the company takes longer.

Thanks in advance for answers!
