A Non Imm O Visa for the purpose of working as a volunteer.

The crim record should not be a problem.

Don't forget that you also need a Work Permit whatever they may tell you.

OK, would I apply for the work permit in the UK or upon arrival in Thailand?

Dear all,

I'm a British male and have visited Thailand many times as a tourist and would like to volunteer with a farming project in the north involving both manual work and some English teaching. I'd like to commit for 6 months to a year.

Am currently in the UK and I understand that I need a non-immigrant O visa. However, I have a minor drugs possession charge on my CRB check from 20 years ago; it was a mistake and is my only offence but will this preclude me from qualifying for a visa?

Any advice would be greatly received.

Dan
