If you have a current Non Immigrant "O" visa, but can get a job in Thailand, is there any difficulty getting a new multiple entry Non Immigrant "B" visa? What else would be required after getting the "B" visa?

Also is Singapore a good place to go and apply for the Visa?

Why would you change visas?

If need be to change your visa you can do that in Thailand at an immigration office, you don't have to go abroad. But check if you realy need to change visa's. For example for a non-O based on marriage there is no need to change your visa, you can get a workpermit on that one too.

The work permit is the other requirement for you to be allowed to work. The visa allows you to stay, the workpermit to work.

Thanks for the replies. What would be required to get a work permit then, and keep the non immigrant "O" visa?

You need to find employment - each work permit is specific to a job. Once employment is found you and employee submit the paperwork to Labor Office for work permit.

That depends largely on the job itself. For most jobs there is a minimum requirement regarding the income of 50,000 baht. For some jobs there are other requirements, like for a teacher there is no mimimum income requirement. In some jobs foreigners are not allowed.

Your employer would have to provide a lot of documents. Better ask the labour office what they exactly would need.
