Does anyone have any more information on the 1 night ASQ stay required for the "quarantine free" entry into Bangkok? 

My mum is visiting in January and is currently in the process of getting things booked,  can't seem to find much about it online and wasn't aware of it until I read this thread. I presume she would be taken to the hotel from the airport by officials and then free to go anywhere thereafter? 

Sorry for hijacking but I thought this would be a good place to ask rather than starting a new thread.

I'm moving to Thailand in a few weeks and I'm a massive football fan and would be keen to keep up with it as much as I can while I'm there. Problem is, I'm a Villa fan and we got relegated so I was wondering if any of the championship games are broadcast over there? Obviously the ones being broadcast in the UK some bars will be showing streams of Sky Sports but do any of the cable channels show championship games?

I wasn't aware of that Joe and I don't think my sponsor in Thailand was either.

Thats makes it a simple decision then, thanks for your help all 

And is that picked up before the trip or at the airport? Is it an instant thing or needs applying for weeks before you wish to go? 

Okay I think based on this I'm going to just go for the single entry and the 1 year extension of stay thereafter, I don't want to risk it being rejected for the sake of not being able to take any vacations for 3 months. 

So on the single entry application

Purpose of visit: work 

Duration of stay: 90 days? 

Thank you so much, that is really informative.

One final question if i may.. Does applying for the multiple entry over the single entry visa make it any more or less likely for it to be granted? I have been advised it's just an additional cost but the criteria is still the same and thus  makes no difference which one you apply for?

I'm having visions of a catching an embassy worker on a bad day and it being rejected!

Thanks again for you help 

Many thanks for your swift reply. 

The company did suggest a single entry visa to begin with but my understanding was that I wouldn't be able to leave the country for the 3 month duration of this VISA. I said i would rather pay more to get a multiple entry VISA as I would quite like to visit some of the neighbouring countries in that period but wasn't aware it could affected future VISA's?

Am i correct in saying If i was to apply for a single entry non "b" would I able to leave and reenter country freely once the 1 year extension of stay / work permit was granted? And am I in saying that if I had a multiple entry "b" visa to begin with I would have to leave every 90 days irrespective of having a work permit?

It's all very confusing!

Long time lurker, first time poster! 

I was hoping to pick someone's brains regarding an application I will be making shortly at the embassy in London for a Non Immigrant B Visa (Multi entry). 

I have been offered a job in Thailand and the company that I will be working for have sent me a massive wedge of documents required to get the VISA (Company finances, shareholders, offer of employment etc). My query is regarding the information I have to fill out and more specifically the details regarding "Duration of proposed stay" and "purpose of current visit" on the application form

From my limited understanding, this VISA isn't a work permit, doesn't permit me to work and is limited to 3 months. That said, i'm going to Thailand to work and I'm planning on staying longer than 3 months so I was confused how I should be filling out these sections. 

I have obviously asked the company for guidance and i'm waiting for them to get back to me but thought it might be a good idea to see if anyone here has any first hand advice they may be able to share 

Thanks in advance
