I have to apply for a non-immigrant B at the Thai Consulate Singapore. It says I must complete the online application "at least 10 working days before the intended date of travel".
Does that mean intended date of travel to Singapore or the Consulate?

years back, I was sitting in a baht bus with my then girlfriend, who was 34 y.o. at the time, when 2 fat ladies from the UK (judging from their accent) climbed on and began mumbling and then saying to me that "I should be ashamed"... huh ?
Probably because you're riding a baht bus at your age.

Ketamine isn't at pharmacies, right? Always wanted to try that. ????
Neutral high, no euphoria. Just a constant state of confusion and mind-blownness. Take it with molly for an incredible experience.
I haven't smoked yaba in about 18 years. I'd smoke it at this price but I'm not as reckless as I used to be and it smells so distinctively strong. I'd be scared of the neighbours smelling it.

Only thing would offer any sense of security to me would be if they are paying for the flight and cash up front for the relocation. At least that shows a commitment
They want me to get a work visa and then they fly me out. The Thai embassy is literally a 20 minute train away for me but they don't seem to be in a hurry despite September start.

You have your answer already.
What is the purpose of asking again and again?
You don't have a job until you have a signed document. And even if you have a signed document that still doesn't mean you have a work permit. And it also doesn't mean you will get paid.
If you want to make sure then make sure you
Lol. No. You keep answering the question "do I have a job?"

I never asked if I got the job or not. I asked:

If I get to Thailand, DM me and we'll talk about reading compression lessons.

No, you didn't get the job. You have a promise to get a job. And promises can be broken.
Is it normal to do this? The fact they say "give you the flight details in 2 weeks" is a bit strange. Why not now? The longer you wait the higher the flight price.
Seems like they're trying to see if they can get someone in country to me.

In my experience, not unusual, I've worked for 4 schools in Thailand (1 via agent), and it always took 6/8 weeks to see a contract, let alone get a work permit. Only with one school did I need to leave the country to get a B-Visa, the others I was on a "married extension of stay".
Things have tightened up a little since my time.
They have sent me the contract, it's just not signed by them. They want me out in 6 weeks. I sent them all my documents, they said they'll get back to me in a couple of weeks. With flights and more info.
Idk. No contract, no job in my mind. It doesn't feel secure. But if this is just a Thai thing..

I got the job, they sent me the contract but said it will be signed when I get there.
Sort of feels like they'll keep looking for another teacher - sort of feels I should keep looking for another job..

No. None at all. At least from my research and the link. Maybe others no different?

Exactly as I understood things to be UJoe. I was just curious if I had this stuff correctly sorted.
Actually, I did a little research and ecommerce is eligible for BOI promotion which means a foreigner can own the business 100% and no need for Thai employees.

You don't have to show anyone the money. Just a number on a document.
The OP has a work permit and therefore a tax number? I don't see a problem if income is declared.
I'd have to set up a company though, register the name and address. I would imagine a separate business account too.
Can I be a sole trader or do I have to employ a Thai?
Really appreciate the knowledgeable replies.

No. Because you can have only 1 work permit for 1 work.
But its little bit up to your side business... do you mean sell online, then yes, you can. Do you mean own a coffee shop and serve there after school, no.
I mean sell online, yes. So the government legally forbids me to open a coffee shop because 1 work, 1 work permit - but allows me to run ecommerce?
That sounds a bit strange.
-
If my non-immigrant B was obtained for the reason of working at a specific school, can I continue to work for the school and legally run a side business?
