The company will depend on the place where you are living, which you do not mention.

If in Bangkok, look in the classified section of the English newspapers. Some advertise there.

No, you do not need to cancel your ED-visa.

Laos might be cheaper, as they process your visa in 2 days and Cambodia in 4 days.

The key is the word "visa" but it is often misused. Are you on a 90 or one year extension of stay from immigration for study or a 90 day entry visa from a Consulate? Any extension of stay should be canceled but a 90 day visa entry would not require this.

u will have to cancel ur ed visa then leave and get a non b.....this was from my recent experience about 5 mths ago.

Thanks for the info

Im from Bangkok

In still in my 90 day entry visa from the consulate, which means I don't have to cancel it first before obtaining new one?

Any body have experience doing such things in Laos please share with me, Its my first time and I'm worried about it. Please share me some info, it will be greatly appreciated.

You do not have to cancel anything. You just leave and obtain the new visa and enter using it. You will require the paperwork for the work type you are applying for (exact paperwork varies). Cambodia requires 4 days normally for any visa issue - most others are next day if apply in morning. There are visa companies making runs from Bangkok but when/where varies from time to time so you would have to contact them. But most people do on there own - you can read many step-by-step reports on here with a little searching.

The Thai visa will cost about 2,000 baht and you will require a visa to enter other country (only Malaysia in area is free) so about another 1-1,500 baht for that and hotel stay of one night or more.

From Bangkok the best location to get your non-b visa with all the correct documents is Vientiane Laos.

There are visa run companies that do runs to Vientiane. But as said you can do it your self by train, bus or air (via Udon) to Nong Kai and then crossing the bridge to Vientiane.

I have read on this forum that WP3 receipt is needed to apply for Non b, Is it me who have to apply for this or my prospective employer? sorry for my English... not really good at it..

Normally the employer will have a legal firm/agent doing this process but it is your work permit but requires paperwork from the employer. It is the application receipt for your work permit which can be issued on any visa but for the work permit itself a non immigrant visa will be required.
