Goonerandy Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I am currently in Samui, and will soon have to get my visa changed to a Non Im B after a job offer. Where is the best place to go to get this done? I have read the forum and have some ideas, but thought I would ask anyway. Many thanks.

ubonjoe Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 You will need more than a job offer to apply for the non-b visa. You will need supporting documents from your employer and a work permit application approval letter. Most people go to the consulates in Kota Bharu or Penang Malaysia for their visas from Samui. What type of visa entry do you have now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonerandy Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Ah yes, I did mean that will have the supporting documents from the school. Currently a METV.I thought I read in here that Penang were no longer issuing the non-b-visa for teachers?Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall any reports of Penang not doing single entry non-b visas for teaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonerandy Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Ah ok, thanks. Sorry for asking, but what are the differences between a single and a multi b visa for teaching? If it gets extended in line with the WP, I don’t get the differences.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anono222 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 We send all of our teachers to Kuala... Penang has been more problematic in the past. Cheers... Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A single only allows one 90 day entry. A multiple allows unlimited 90 day entries for a year from the date of issue. You only need a single entry visa.

Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect The multi B would require you to do a border hop every 3 months. If you wanted to travel to other countries, that would be a good thing. However, if you planned to stay in Thailand only, for the duration of your employment, then a single B visa, extended by immigration, would suffice. (You'd need re-entry permits to leave and re-enter Thailand, in order not to lose your extension.) Another thing to consider is, what happens after you resign from your job; a visa extension would require you to leave the country almost immediately, while a, still valid, visa entry could give you the chance to stay as long as your original visa is valid. (Anyone please correct me, if this info is outdated thanks to new regulations.) Edited February 22, 2018 by StayinThailand2much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
