non-immigrant visa letter of reference

[Lexellexel]

Hi

 

it seems on a lot of the embassies list of requirements, there is a letter of reference from a past employer required. Is this to be addressed to the embassy itself? Or the employer you are applying to work with?

Not sure which embassies are asking for the reference letter. It is not listed here on the MFA website: http://www.mfa.go.th/main/en/services/4908/15388-Non-Immigrant-Visa-"B"-(for-Business-and.html

I think the reference letter would be addressed to your employer.

It seems to be a requirement for embassies in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc

It does appear on the UK embassy website.

I don't see that it is required in Australia. http://canberra.thaiembassy.org/Home/visa or the US http://thaiembdc.org/consular-services/non-immigrant-visas/non-immigrant-visa-category-b/

I would say the majority do not ask for it or perhaps show it on their website but do not actually require it. You would have to contact them to confirm it is needed.
