davidst01 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I am on a single entry tourist visa and want to apply for a non immig B because I’m starting a new job at a uni. Ive read the link: http://www.thaivisa.com/6-steps-to-one-year-work-permit-and-visa.html Which states that: ‘’ It should be note that some Thai Embassy or Consulate would only be able to grant a 90-Days Single Entry Non-Immigrant “B” Visa, while some Thai Embassy or Consulate would be able to grant 1-Year Multiple Entry Non-Immigrant “B” Visa. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to check the eligibility policy of the Thai Embassy/Consulate that you would be traveling to’’ I’m not sure of the exact rules but if they only give me a 90 days single entry as opposed to a 1 year does that mean that I can only work 90 days? Should I only aim to get the 1 year multiple entry as my work contract is 1 year? Also, can you advise what are the exact requirements that I have to ask for from my new employer? I read the link of the example letter that they will have to provide me: http://www.thaivisa.com/example-letter-non-immigrant-business-visa.html What else do they need to give me? I cant find the link now but a few days ago I read about a guy stuck in Singapore for an extra day or 2 bc his employer did not provide the correct docs. Any help is appreciated. I would be applying at one of the consulates in Laos – either Vientiane or the one in central Laos. Alternatively would you know if its possible to convert the single entry tourist visa to a non immig B at one of the Immigration offices in Issan?

Mario2008 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 You will get a single non-B visa, good for an entry of 90 days. During the last 30 days you go to immirgaiton with paperwork from the university and your work permit to extend your stay for 1 year, and do this every year again as long as you continue to work.

ubonjoe Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 You should ignore the info those two links you posted because you will be working for a university not a company. The letter certainly will not work since your are here already. It is possible if you are in Bangkok that you could apply for a change of visa status at immigration to get a 90 day non immigrant visa entry with documents from the University. They should know what is required to get the work permit, visa and extension of stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
