Getting Visa/ Work Permit Procedures

[gisele]

I just want to make sure I am doing this correctly and that I am not missing something.

I am presently in China. I will be working at a university in Thailand. I start teaching June 14th. I leave China on June the 11th.

1. I need to go to the Thai Embassy in Beijing to get a visa, I must bring the following documents: letter with the letter-head from the university in Thailand, passport, picture.

Q. Do I have to ask for a visa in particular or do they automatically give me a non-immigrant visa with multiple entries? Anything else?

2. Once in Thailand, I will go to the immigration office and get a work permit. I must bring the following documents: passport with visa, letter with the letter-head from the university.

Q. is that all?

Am I missing a step or something else?

thanks
