Applies to all non-immigrant visas.

Extension of stay is only possible with 4 Thai employees. That's very often not the case in small businesses.

I recently read an info letter from a Koh Phangan language school that Penang currently only issues ED visas if there is no prior Thai visa of any kind in the passport. They advise their students to fly to Bali 🤷🏼‍♀️. Was actually browsing this group to find more info on this out of general interest and am a bit surprised nothing is mentioned here regarding this matter.

I’ve done train once and it was nice actually but still prefer shorter actual travel times. Forgot about this option though, so will keep it in mind 🙂.

In my case, I hold the full 49%.

My current job description that’s in the paperwork I hand in with the visa application says “food & drinks manager”. Would need to check again what exactly the wp says, but it has (01) on it.

I can only say that this is what I had before. For 2 years. Issued in 2015.

I am talking about the work permit. My first work permit after I opened my company said “managing director”.

@Joe **********

Yes, in the company papers I am director. But according to Jim, to get a 1-year non-B, the work permit has to say “managing director”. Which my old one did. Just the current one doesn’t.

Sure. Just did not know that. I thought the 1-year multiple is not extendable at all. My tax accountant just prepares all the documents for me whenever I need a new visa and I have been on non-B multiple for 3 years now, so went to Penang once a year to get a new one.
