What are the options for extending a Non-B visa to a one-year visa in Thailand with a registered company and one employee?

Darren *********

Stephanie Costa yes after reading your post I thought that it may be the easiest solution for you. However, Kota Bharu is known to be a little more lenient in some areas.

ah yes, that was the other concern 🙂 I’ll do that to cover my bases. I agree taking their word for it is not a good idea. I’ve found their information to be out of date/incorrect at times. All about the $. If I see you in Bangkok maybe I can buy you a beer 🙂

400,000 for an extension based on marriage to a Thai? Either way I agree with Robert the easiest route if you have the funds. As I said, my extension based on marriage was granted based on tax documents for an income INSIDE Thailand.

yes, if you’re earning 40k inside Thailand your employer has to produce evidence that you are registered for tax and you are/have been paying tax for that amount. The good thing about that is if your employer’s employed you for a period of time without paying tax - then it can still be paid retrospectively. Good old Thais.
