Journalist Visa ?

[andy1308]

Hello,

I've been offered a job as EDITOR with a publishing company in Bangkok and need some advice as to whether it would be best to apply for a standard 'B' visa, or whether I can apply for the specific journalist visa? Are there benefits from choosing one in preference to the other? Or, are these types of visas specifically aimed at those who will be reporting from Thailand for their own publications elsewhere in the world?

Any help would be much appreciated and welcomed.

Andy.

The Journalist visa is a NON-IMMIGRANT VISA, Category "M". See also Journalist Visa, Anyone Know the Steps?

Vinny,

Thanks for that information - it is much appreciated.

If the Editor's job is full-time, apply for the B Visa. If you are freelancing, go for the M visa.
