Thailand Visa

Obtaining a One Year Thai Visa.
The process to get a One Year Multiple Entry Visa is quite simple. If you are interested in potentially investing in Thailand , in either business or real estate, you can be granted a one year Non-Immigrant Type B (business type) Visa. For this process to work however, you will need to have a company sponsor you for a One Year Multiple Entry NON-B Visa . Sunbelt provides this service to qualified individuals who we feel are genuinely interested in researching business or investment possibilities in Thailand.

Sunbelt Asia offers this service for you to obtain a one-year visa for Thailand. This visa type provides:

*

Multiple entry into Thailand (unlimited)
*

Valid for use for a period of one calendar year
*

Able to stay in Thailand for 90 days for each entry*
*

Ability to obtain work permit for Thailand, if needed

*One-day border trip (4 hours from Bangkok) and you can renew your stay for another 90 days in Thailand.

Here is the process:

1. Aquire the Non - B sponsorship documents by visiting the Sunbelt Asia office. This is a very simple process which takes about 15 mins. A few photocopies of your passport, a few signatures and your on your way. Sunbelt can also process your Visa Sponsorship conveniently via courier although the extra fees will ,of course, be your responsibility.

2. Now that you have your documents you must leave the country. This works exactly the same way it does for any Visa run to a Thai Consulate - with one exception....the Thai Consulates in Asia are very reluctant to issue One Year Multiple Entry Non-Imm Type B visas. Problem? not really. The visas can be obtained from almost any other consulate outside asia.

3. You now submit your documents to the Royal Thai Consulate with your accompanying Visa Application (you get that at the consulate). You will need to supply two 4x6cm passport type photos with the application. Requests for NON-B Type Visas are generally processed next day, although I would allow one extra day in your itinerary for any problems that may arise (ie. misplaced documents, missing information, un-common sense.)

4. You are now the proud holder of a One-Year Visa. You can now enter Thailand at which time they will stamp your passport for a 3 month duration - NOT 2 months and get an extension as tourist visa requires - you get a FULL THREE MONTHS. At such time as your 3 months expires, a simple border run to any immigation checkpoint (Cambodia, Laos, Burma etc) will suffice to acquire another 3 month stamp. Also note, if your timing is right, you can extend this visa to 15 months. Simply leave and re-enter the country a few days before the one year expires, and bingo - another 3 month stamp.

Visa Categories
The Immigration Act of 1979 as amended in 1980 establishes the following visa categories:

* Tourist
* Visitor transit
* Immigrant
* Non-quota immigrant
* Non-immigrant

Non-immigrant Visa
Aliens seeking a prolonged stay, or those coming to work in Thailand, should obtain non-immigrant visas for all family members prior to entering the Kingdom. There are several categories of Non-Immigrant visas which include, among others, business visa category (B); dependent visa category (O); investment subject to the provision of the laws on investment promotion (BOI IB); diplomatic and consular visa category (D); performance of duties with the mass media (M); performance of skilled or expert work (EX); investment (with concurrence of ministries and departments concerned)-(capital investment IM); study or observation (ED).
Advantages of a Non-Immigrant visa include:

* Entitlement of the holder to apply for a multiple re-entry visa to Thailand from the Immigration Division in Bangkok
* Subject to the regulations of the Immigration Authorities, entitlement of the holder to apply for permanent residence in Thailand
* Eligibility for issuance of a Work Permit to the holder
* Eligibility for temporary visa renewal while processing issuance of a long- term annual visa.

Aliens are advised to strictly adhere to the rules governing each visa category. They should report any changes of address or status to local police within 24 hours.

In addition, foreigners residing in Thailand for more than 90 consecutive days are required to register their address with the Immigration Bureau every 90 days. This requirement applies to all foreigners, including holders of work permits and long-term visas. Failure to do so can result in substantial penalties.
