Thai Consulate in Kota Bharu, Malaysia, is an option for tourists who need to extend their stay in Thailand. Kota Bharu city is located just across the border from Thailand, and it is a relatively easy and quick process to get a Thai visa there.

A Non-B visa is for those who need to stay long-term and work in Thailand. To obtain a 1-year Non-B visa, you typically need to apply for an initial 90-day Non-B visa from a Thai consulate outside of Thailand, such as the Thai Consulate in Kota Bharu, Malaysia. Once you have entered Thailand on this 90-day Non-B visa and secured your Work Permit, you can then extend your stay to a full year at Thai Immigration within Thailand
