The embassy is asking for much more than is normally needed to get a non-b visa for teaching.

The recommendation letter is way above what is normally required. Same for the bank statement unless they were wanting it to meet the normal 20k baht financial proof.

Is there any chance you could apply at one of the consulates. Perhaps they would be friendlier.

The consulates are listed at the bottom of this page. http://www.thaiembassy.org/main/

Normal requirements for the non-b visa can be found here. http://www.mfa.go.th/main/en/services/4908/15388-Non-Immigrant-Visa-"B"-(for-Business-and.html

I agree with you, It's a good suggestion. There are 3 consulates nearby, next time I'd like to apply there. I've one question as I've seen the application form of all consulate is exectly same and written Thai embassy Delhi. 

I've also gone through mfa.go.th link and recommendation letter is not listed there, means it's optional. However consular have right to ask additional documents and granting of visa is the sole desicion of him.

Hi,

 

Sorry to hear about your bad luck.

 

The posts here are good advice and,if it was me, I would be  getting a new passport if it has two negative void stamps in it. The void stamps are actually in your passport??? Sorry, I don't know having never had the misfortune of this happening.It is easy to stamp " NO " once they have seen previous refusals in a passport. You never, from any Embassy or Consulate, get your cash refunded in case of a visa not being granted. The fee is payable to get them to consider and assess it.

i would also try a smaller consulate as suggested. For myself as a UK citizen, in my days of applying for visas I found the Thai consulate in Liverpool, one of the best to apply in the country with minimal requirements compared to others.

I used to have " niggles "when I went via London main Thai Embassy and their with requests for all kinds of documents.What I am saying is the Thai Embassy policies vary from place to place, so not to be discouraged.

Good luck.

Yes bro, It's my new passport issued in 2016 having total 3 stamps only. 1. Valid Non b. 2. VOID Non b 3. VOID Tourist. I also consider to apply for a new passport now. 

Thank you for the quick explanation and support. I'm non native and already know being a non native it's not an easy task to get the job, however I've got two new schools luckily, I've submitted bank statements but not the recommendation letter. That might be a major drawback. The old school has informed me after 3 months of teaching that students need an American, we are sorry, please don't come from Monday and return back to your home country. I've requested them to provide experience or reference letter their answer was no.

Hi, I am an ESL teacher previously worked in Thailand having valid non b visa and work permit. The old school has terminated me and ddn't gave the recommendation letter. When I've got a new school, I applied non b visa with all supporting documents. After that the Embassy asked me to submit additional documents -Recommendation letter from old school and bank statement. I've given the reason in written for non availability of recommendation letter and submitted bank statement. When I got back my passport, it was having void stamp.

I've visited vfs and also called to embassy both have told me that there is no reason explained for rejection. It's embassy's final decision. Even I've requested to embassy for personal appointment, there was no response.

Then I've applied for tourist visa given round trip tickets, sufficient bank statement with stamp, 20 days travel plan daywise, hotel reservation covering all days by booking.com(not paid in advanced), got passport back with void stamp.

No reason explained from both embassy and vfs.

Dear Sir,

I've applied non b visa at Thai embassy Delhi. They have checklist of 20 documents and I've submitted all 20 documents after one week I got my passport back with VOID stamp. After asking the reason they didn't explained anything and also didn't refunded the fees.

After that I've applied tourist visa with all required documents as per embassy's checklist, that also again got VOID stamp. No fees refunded.

I've phone call them and asked where I'm wrong please tell me, I'll reapply it. They said we don't know any reason.

Kindly suggest me what should I do now.

There is new staff in school. I want to tell them where to go. Please give appropriate adrress/phone number.

can you give me the address and phone number of education office in Krabi. Thank you in advance.

Kindly give information:

Ammart school in krabi- Is the school comes under Provincial Administrative Organisation? Or Office of the basic education commission

I have got an English teacher position in Krabi. I have applied visa in home country but the Embassy need one additional document

"Letter of acceptance from MOE, OBEC, or Related Government Agency"
