Non-O (Marriage) / Non-B (Teaching) Requirements In Kl?

[MCR2k1]

Hi all,

I'm likely heading to KL next month to get either a multi-entry Non-O based on marriage or a Non-B for teaching if I score a teaching contract that I've applied for.

I have a few of questions:

1. With the Non-O, the 100,000 baht requirement: I have the funds in a Thai bank in my own name, can I just bring the bank book (plus a copy) to show this?

2. As for the Non-B, The KL embassy/consulate lists the following requirements (below) for a Non-B visa teaching application. Does anyone know if they actually request the police clearance certificate? Seems like a pain to have to go and get that. How strict are they about all this other stuff? Seems like there is far too much room for error.

3. One other issue, somewhat related do any teachers know if its possible to get a provisional teaching permit (waiver) on a Non-O? The TCT website says Non B, but I'd prefer to just get my work permit on a Non O so that they are not attached. However, I can't do this without first getting a provisional teaching permit. On that note, the labour department in BKK definetely requires a provisional teaching permit/waiver before issuing a work permit for an employee of an international school, correct? Even in the case of English instructors?

Thanks in advance.

1. yes. (Savanakhet Laos will issue a multiple without the need for money, KL will issue multipel if you have 100,000).

2. Don't know.

3. it seems the TCT indeed now requires a non-B, another person reported being denied because he had a non-O based on marriage.

Immigration seems not to require a license when on an extension of stay based on marriage, but don't know about the labour office.

The only mention of the non-b is the letter requesting the visa.

" 5.1. Letter indicating applicant’s name, passport number and the objective of the visit to

Thailand, etc., requesting for Non-Immigration Type ‘B’ visa"

You should be able to get the work permit with the non-o based upon marriage.
