stament Posted yesterday at 08:32 AM Posted yesterday at 08:32 AM Does anyone know how far in advance a visa can be issued prior to the working date start as stated in the employment contract. I read "around 60 days" but can't see this anywhere officially.
timendres Posted 23 hours ago Posted 23 hours ago Are you going to be obtaining a work permit? If so, you must obtain an extension based on work permit before the Non-B visa expires. To get the extension, you must complete the work permit process before applying for the extension. You can apply for the extension within 30 days prior to the visa expiration. It should not take more than a week to complete the work permit. Mine was completed by my agent in 3 days, once the proper documents were in order. So, the "around 60 days" seems like a decent estimate.
stament Posted 23 hours ago Author Posted 23 hours ago Sorry I should have been more specific, I see that now. This is for the first non-B working visa that is issued to an individual by them obtaining it outside Thailand. They will then proceed to Thailand an apply for their first work permit. Apologies for not being more specific. I cannot change the original post or heading now sadly.

When you are granted a work permit typically you also recieve a permission to stay extension. Mine was done first week of my ariving in Thailand...my Non B was a 90 day single entry.

You don't have to leave the country to ask a question to an embassy? That doesn't make sense. Look up the contact information for the embassy you would use and then contact them and ask them a question. Location is irrelevant.

Agreed but in my experience they are very slow at responding or sometimes don't respond depending on the question.
