sussex Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I am currently staying in Bangkok on a tourist visa. I was initially granted two 60-day visas and my 30 day extension expires at the end of the month. I have been offered a 3 month contract to work at the United Nations in Bangkok. From what I have read, I understand that I must leave the country and apply for my work visa at a Thai embassy abroad. I have booked a flight to Yangon so that I can apply for my work visa in Myanmar at the end of the month. Can anyone please confirm if this is the correct process and which category visa I should apply for? I believe it is non-immigrant visa category F. Many thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterestedObserver Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) You need a non-immigrant visa, preferably a "B", and a work permit before you can legally work in Thailand. You apply for the work permit at the Labor Department inside Thailand. Unless you are performing UN official duties I don't think a non-immigrant "F" visa is appropriate and you still would need a work permit.
