First Work Visa - Report

[johnnynmonic]

So the wife and kids and I just finished up getting non-B and non-O's at Vientiane. A non-B for the wife, and non-O's for the kids and I. None of us are Thai. I thought I'd write up a quick report for others who might be in the same boat. In the past we've gotten by on tourist visas, or multiple-entry, non-O's from overseas honorary Thai consulates. These days though, the wife is teaching part-time at a local school, so that opened up some visa options for us.

All we needed was:

• Her letters and work contract from the school.
  
• A copy of our marriage certificate
  
• copies of the kids birth certificates
  
• 2k Baht per visa
  

and presto, visas for everyone. Much easier than a trip home, and much easier on the pocketbook than the 200 USD/person for multiple entry non-O visas that the honorary consulates now charge.

Cheers,

jn

Did the MOE labour office give you the W.P. first, or did they make you get the Non B first?

What province are you in? You do not mention it.
