Tourist Visa To Non-B

[thequietman]

hi guys,

new teacher just started at our school. he has a single entry tourist which he has used and is up on 8 july. the visa itself has to be used before 8 august. he has been offered a position as teacher. what does he have to do to extend his tourist, if possible. can he change it at nan to a non-b ? what is the procedure please ?

Many thanks for your advice.

regards.

He will not have enough time to apply for a conversion, as Nan immigration wants to see a waiveer of the teaching license. I'm afraid he will have to go abroad and apply for a non-B visa, best if he applies for the work permit first.

But not sure if Bangkok immigration will want to see the teaching license or waiver. If not, he can apply for a conversion to a non-B in Bangkok, with paperwork from school and the WP3 form from the labour office.
