3 year multiple entry visas to be introduced
BANGKOK . The Ministry of Foregin Affairs will soon introduce a 3 year multiple entry Non-Immigrant Visa. The validity of visas for business purposes will be extended to three years to attract investors to Thailand.
Deputy Government Spokeman Danuporn Poonakun, told the Bangkok Post that the new multiple-entry non immigrant type B (business visa) would be valid for three years.
He said the new visa is part of a goverment attempt to attract foreign investors to
operate businesses or work in Thailand. The current multiple- entry business visa is valid for one year and cost the equivalent of 5,000 baht.
A source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says it will take a few months before the

Thai Immigration will grant a 90 days stay in the Kingdom on each entry, and an extended stay could be granted for work permit holders and others up to one year at the time, according to the ministry.
The Thai embassies and consulates abroad will continue to issue the one year visa's as well as the new three year visa.

new 3 year non imm b visa
Re: new 3 year non imm b visa
Its a step in the right direction but I wonder if the above bit still means renewing the visa after a year ... in other words the same as what we have but at a higher cost.tuktukmike wrote: Thai Immigration will grant a 90 days stay in the Kingdom on each entry, and an extended stay could be granted for work permit holders and others up to one year at the time, according to the ministry.
