Hi both myself and my wife have been using Non-b for good few years, renewing in penang with Jimmy as we live in phuket , however on last visit they would only give my wife single entry non b 3 months as even as she is a shareholder , she is not a director. We prefare non-b to business due to 15 month length, local staff requirements and it makes us go away every 3 months !! we also dont want to be directors as i am a long term cancer patient and need to stay in the social system.

3 questions please:

we were told that my wife could extend or renew it inside Thailand, does anyone know if this is true?

is there any other consulates in region that dont have this director rule for 1 yr non-B , i have been told myramar or Laos?has anyone had any recent experience?

my WP is renewed each sept , can i renew earlier so as to also fulfill the 8 month min requirement for 1 year non-B or is there other options?

thanks in advance
