Could someone please confirm that I can get a Non Immigrant B Visa (working) from the Thai Consulate in Savanneket? If so how much it costs?

Also I want to drive my own car across next time so could someone inform me what documents I need to obtain and from where to take my fully paid for Nissan Frontier over?

Thanking you in advance for your time and kind attention.

Regards

Nick

Believe it is easier to leae your car in Thailand to avoid border problems, but others can better adivse you.

A non-B is possible and costs 2,000 baht in local currency, but you will need full company documents and possibly a work permit or WP3 receipt. But not many reports on this consulate.

I am applying for a non immigration B visa so that the company I am going to work for can apply for a work permit for me.

Could someone please clarify exactly what documents that I need to take with me to get the visa. Thanking you in advance for your time and info. Regards

I would apply now for the work permit. You won't get it, as you lack the required visa, but they will process the application and give you a WP3 form. This indicates that you have applied for the work permit and most consyulates in the region want to see this for.

You wil also need a letter from your employer asking for a visa for you, and some company deteils. Mostly the same papers you need for applying for a work permit. Others can fill you in better.

But it also depends on your job. For a teacher it is often easier to get a non-B than for working for a company.

For teachers Savannakhet, in May at least, were issuing Non B visas on the strength of copy of contract and letter from school.
