Thailand’s work visa is for one year. If you want to stay in Bangkok for one or two years, you can apply for a work visa, but you need a company in Thailand that can sign a labor contract and assist in applying for a work visa.

To sign a job, the employer generally issues an invitation letter and other materials required for visa application. The domestic business signer goes to Thailand, and then after arriving in Thailand, he uses the work contract to apply for the work permit that foreigners need to work in Thailand. With the work permit, Go to the Thai Immigration Bureau every 90 days to sign in and renew your visa.

Generally, visa renewal is based on the validity date on the work permit. In other words, if your work permit is valid for two years, then you can apply for two years of legal residence with your work permit. The employment limitation period is determined by the contract signed between you and your employer or partner.

The above is one of the ways to legally stay in Thailand for two years.

If your Thai work visa expires and you want to stay for 3-5 more days, you can leave from Aranyaprathet, Thailand, to Poipet, Cambodia, and then enter Thailand again, and you can stay for 15 more days. However, you have to pay extra for Cambodia’s arrival visa and Thailand’s return visa, which is US$25 + 1,100 baht.
