Looking for advice please: Yesterday I applied via London Embassy for eVisa 'Non-Immigrant B / Business Visit visa', and I paid the fee. Today the Thai Company who I will work with for 2 months said that I will need a 'Non-Immigrant B / Employment' visa, so I can submit a WP32. I am contacting the Thai Embassy in London to see if I can simply change the application, so I don't lose the money, I don't know if this is possible or not. Or maybe I can cancel the Business Visit application, and reapply from the beginning, even if that means I will lose the money. Or maybe I can apply additionally for the Employment visa without cancelling the Business visit visa. i.e. Maybe it is possible to have 2 visa approvals and then choose which one I use on arrival in Thailand...? Does anyone have any experience with this kind of a situation?? Thanks in advance.

I have a British passport. I need to get a Non-B visa for Thailand, it's my first time. It looks like Jakarta will be a convenient option for me. Does anyone have any experience of the Thai Embassy in Jakarta please? Things to do while waiting for the visa? Places to stay nearby? Is it easy to find a money changer to get the required cash to pay with? Many thanks if anyone has any info to share.

Is Penang generally easier? No computerised booking system?
