I will be attenidng a TEFL course and they state they will help me apply for a Catagory B visa.

I checked the Thai consulate site and this is what it says:

Category "B" (business – paid employment) – this category entitles a person:

a) who is employed by a non Thai company to conduct business in Thailand

b ) who is employed by a Thai company to work in Thailand

Does this mean i will be able to gain paid employment on this visa or is it only valid

for the company originally applied with?

All employment in Thailand needs a work permit, regardless of the type of visa with which the foreigner entered. Therefore, if you arrive in Thailand with a non-B visa and later want to work, you need to apply for and receive a work permit. The work permit application is usually done by the employer, who has to supply a lot of documentation regarding his company.
