ubonjoe Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 There is no up to date list on their website. There requirements are the same as Vientiane. See: http://vientiane.thaiembassy.org/upload/pdf/Visa/Non-B teacher.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifie Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Thank you for this info. One of my friends told me that I don't need to have a police clearance when getting a Non-B visa in Savannakhet. He knew that because he got his Non-B there last year September. Have you also heard that to others? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What grade was he teaching? 3 minutes ago, fifie said: and how long does it take to get the approval letter from the Ministry of Education? I assume not very long. Perhaps ask the school about it.

Not sure you would be able to get one soon enough to do it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifie Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Yes I do understand that. I also checked here http://www.thaisavannakhet.com/savannakhet/th/consulate-service/inspect/. My thai friend told me that there is no police clearance included. However, I think I really need to get it. but I lack of time now. My visa is near to be expired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See: http://vientiane.thaiembassy.org/upload/pdf/Visa/Non-B teacher.pdf Be certain to bring ORIGINALS of the "Letter on school letterhead stating that the applicant has been hired for teaching." AND " Approval letter from Ministry of Education " I was turned back as was a Filipino gentleman in front of me because the school gave us copies of both (we were not from same school). Schools do this when there are multiple teachers hired at the same time and instead of making an original letter for each, they make copies and mark them as such so that only one teacher has an original letter. THE CONSULATE will NOT ACCEPT COPIES OF THESE. They must be original or you will be sent back for originals. Joe, do you know if I will be able to use my 30 day Laos visa to re-enter or will I have to buy a new one even if still in the 30 day window? I did not think about this at the time, as I was just in a hurry to get back and not loose more time. I did not ask at the crossing... any idea? *Not sure about the police clearance letter as I did have it but never had that conversation * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are only valid for one entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
