Hi Todd
@Tod ********
, we normally organize the B visa paperwork and work permit applications in house and have the applicant apply for the visa outside the country. However we have not tried to convert a tourist visa to B visa before and I was looking for information on how this could be done.

It’s a good idea to check in advance what documents they will require in addition to your passports
Eddy **********
You will need to take both passports with you to do this.

Once you have your new passport you will need to go to your immigration office win your Provence and have the visa moved to the new passport.

The Kl embassy provides a helpful document list for B visa applications. Importantly have you original Work permit with you as well as a copy which you have signed and your contract which should show your employment for a further 90+ days.

Without the company paperwork it is 100% impossible and you would need a Thai company representative with you. Why do you think that you can no longer do a 90 day visa run for a new B visa?
Eddy **********
OK, could you let me have the phone number that you reached the embassy on.

It turns out that the embassy does not answer emails either since the new Brazilian staff have tried repeatedly to get a response from them. This sounds like it would be better to avoid this embassy

@Deb ****
If you get any information on residency requirements I would be grateful if you could share it here or directly with me.
