Non Imm B

[visaissues]

From the info below, where can the Visa application be obtained?

How long would the 'Letter of approval from the Ministry of Labour' take to recieve?

Is that it? No need for the prospective employer to show documentation of company registration/contract/etc?

Where is the nearest (best choice) Thai Consulate that a Canadian can apply for the non-imm B?

The best place to apply for your visa without a work permit is your country of residence.

I should have noted that I am currently living and working in Thailand.
