Why do you want to apply for two different visas at the same time ????

Not sure but would it not be better to get your visa and then apply to have your wife stay with you here.

Because the thai visa agent (from the thai company) said so.

Hi,

I'm going to apply for a Non B ME + Non O ME (spouse) tomorrow at the embassy in Berlin. I have all the required documents ready (about 40-50 pages from the thailand company) and my own documents (filled out visa application, flight confirmations, passport, copy of passport).

Just to be on the safe side I've added a few more documents to my visa application, such as my CV, a copy / statement of a special savings account w/ > 5000€, confirmation appartment, certified educational certificate in English and German, certified marriage certificate in English and German. The documents from the thai company are all signed by the director + stamp. Every single page.

I'm curious, do the copies, such as my passport, flights, CV, marriage cert have to be signed by me / my wife? I haven't found any requirements regarding this on the embassy homepage, but I'm going to apply for me and wife in personal, while she's at home. (another town, kinda far away)

Thanks.

So what´s the purpose of the non immigrant business visa then? Apparently everyone who has an non immigrant business visa must have a work permit?! So the visa would only allow entering the country and getting your work permit? nothing else? I'm doing work for my company / on behalf of my company and not for the thai company though.

Does someone need a work permit when the person is employed by a company which is outside of Thailand (Germany) and is doing "mid-term consultant activites" for (well rather with) a company in Thailand?

e.g.

- I get paid by my current company in Euro, tax etc is done in Germany.

- Thai company pays my company

- I go to thailand for a few months (could do vacations in neighboring countries every 60days) and "work" for my company but the final work result will "end up at the thai company"

- I'm not employed by the thai company nor do I need to pay tax in Thailand
