it’s very difficult to plan migrating myself, my belongings, my Thai registered business AND my four silly dogs.

I’m not a tourist hoping to hang on a bit longer. But I am painfully aware many others are in the same situation. Or worse.

The covid situation changes daily so for sure it can’t be easy for any government to sort this stuff out.

Just looking forward to good news but bracing myself for unfortunate news.

Aaaand breathe.

this is true. Last time, my stamp was in date and valid. This time, it isn’t. This is why my blood pressure is different to last time.

@Robert ******

thank you!!!

to be clear. I am able to get the 1 year because I am the Director. Ian is an employee and shareholder. As I understand it, he cannot get the 1 year multiple anymore unless we have 4 Thai / Burmese staff... staff I don’t need and therefore would kill all profit and purpose of the business.

I have also heard he may be able to get a 1 year multiple in Kota Bharu but since we’ll be in Chiang Mai come renewal time, I’m looking for options that don’t require super long journeys and travel costs...

Disclaimer: I don’t know if the Kota Bharu option is true. This was 3rd hand information so best to double check before you book anything to get it done there.

@Robert ******

will do! The main thing might be not having as many Thais as they’d like us to have. Truth is out business doesn’t need so many staff. But we’ll report back on how it goes!

@Robert ******

we know everything is paid thankfully since it’s our business. Thanks again for this tip. Makes sense to just go and get the right info directly. 😊

@Sergio ******

thank you! But cheap and quick to get there from CM at least! Flight to Udon Thani 2,700, cheap bus, 2000b application fee.

It doesn’t feel so much hassle or massively expensive. It’s not a terrible option

@Robert ******

thank you so much. This is a very sensible idea!

@Michael **************

we don’t currently have 4 Thai staff per foreign WP.

@Ben *******

thank you Ben. Do you know if they give 1 year multiple or 3 month only? I’ll have a look on the embassy site in the meantime.
