What does a single entry Non-Immigrant B visa mean for returning to Thailand?

Darren *********

A 90 day non imm b single is ‘stay’ period to get your s#%t in order with your employer internally. Proper process. Either your employer provides your documents for your extension to stay OR your lawyer prepares them (self employment/director) for a non b MULTI application. Either/or

I’m happy to be corrected. Last time I was party to a re-entry - application I was told 1900 - I’m aware that’s the same number as an extension to a visa exempt - again happy to be corrected. Why would you pay a fee to re-enter on a multi?

What should I enter on the TM6 card upon arriving in Thailand with a new passport while holding an old passport with my visa?

Darren *********

Immigration can put a stamp in your new passport linking the old passport (and visa) to the new one, everything is then done with your new passport number. I got mine stamped at BKK airport immigration and always carry both.

I totally agree, they need to go further than ‘weeding out’ undesirables and open things up for those that have valid intentions.

The bottom line is that the recent changes are bringing those who are abusing visa exempt/tourist visas ‘out into the open’ it’s time to get legal or go home.

What is the process to apply for a one-year extension of stay based on marriage with a Non-IM B Multi visa?

Darren *********

That’s good to know, in the unlikely event of my wife and I parting in the future I’m thinking it would be prudent to go down the dependant path. I have the funds, have held the same job for a government school for almost two years. Maybe I should try the dependant extension first.

yes I’m familiar with that process, it can be six months plus assuming you have the consent of the mother. I was just thinking that if my extension was based on my half Thai son that this would be a constant in the situation where my marriage might not necessarily be, if you get me.
