Can I apply for a Non-B visa from within Thailand or do I need to go to Laos?
Hi, good evening. I don't know if someone already asked about this, but is it possible to apply for a Non-B inside Thailand at the moment? Or do I still need to go out and get my Non-B in Laos? Thank you.
Answer summary
The ability to apply for a Non-B visa (Business visa) from within Thailand is complicated. It typically requires more paperwork from your employer if done domestically, and most companies prefer their employees to obtain the Non-B visa from outside Thailand, such as in Laos. This has become more common as conditions return to normal following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Most companies/organizations will want you to get your non B outside the country especially if it's for a teaching job. You can get them in country but that's usually for top specialist jobs. You mighr've been lucky through the covid era but it's 'back to normal' now

It requires a lot more paperwork from your employer to apply inside the country. So you'll have to find out if they are willing to do it. Most companies prefer the employees go get it outside of Thailand.
