Recent Non-Imm B applications in neighbouring countries

[mankindmatt5]

Hi guys

 

Recently been hit with the demand to get a legalised copy of my degree certificate. 

 

Due to this taking potentially a month, if not longer, a trip outside Thailand is unavoidable.

 

The legalised degree is part of the Non-Imm B visa procedure. So I've been considering whether Thai embassies abroad have the same requirements or just want to see a copy or the original of a degree cert?

 

As I have to go out of the country anyway, it'd save a fair whack of cash to just get the Non-Imm B elsewhere. I'd obviously rather put my money towards flights, hotels and a nice trip outside the country than to lawyer, government and courier fees. 

 

I've had a look on a few local embassy websites. Hanoi, for example, simply lists 'Proof of Education' as a required document, which is obviously a bit vague. 

 

Anyway, these things are in a constant flux. If anyone has up to date information from any of the neighbouring countries Thai Embassies that'd be a really big help

 

Edit: Forgot to mention, this is for a private school teaching position. I think Non-Imm B procedure and requirements can be different depending on job positon

 

Thanks

Most nearby embassies and consulates do not require your degree to be legalized to apply for a non-b visa.

If they did it would be shown on their list of required documents.

Here is the requirement for applying at the embassy in Vientiane. http://vientiane.thaiembassy.org/upload/pdf/Visa/Non-B teacher.pdf
