Non O with Retirement extension to work permit process

[hapark]

It used to be possible to fly out to Hong Kong, KL, etc to get a single entry Non B in order to process WP. With Covid restrictions, HK does not look feasible. Any other locations in the region to do this with minimal hassle and what is the actual timing and process  for visa, WP application?

Thanks

You try Phnom Penh. Cambodia is open by air.

Requirements for a non-b visa is here but if working it direct you to a different website.

https://phnompenh.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/non-immigrant-b-visa-to-work-or-conduct-business-in-thailand?page=5d73b14415e39c46f40076a1&menu=5d73b14415e39c46f40076a2

It might be easier to leave and re-enter the country with a tourist visa or visa exempt entry and apply for the non-b at immigration.

With a valid extension of stay based upon retirement is gett the work permit application approved. If you could get that you change the reason for your extension of stay from retirement to working.

Penang & KL are your closest Consulates. Reviously Cambo wasn't doing them. Maybe hs changed?

But check with them if they are doing them!

They will also tell you which docs to have on you!

 

Good luck.

But entering Malaysia may be a problem.

Everything and border crossing will only be for Thais and Malaysians at Sadao.

I have seen nothing yet by air.
