While I understand that it’s recommended to apply for a Non-Immigrant B Visa domestically, I really don’t feel like mailing things to DC with a potential massive waiting time when I’m probably leaving very soon. Would there be any issue with waiting until I arrive to apply where things would be far quicker and easier to do in person?

More specifically, is there any issue with me planning to: Enter Thailand on the automatic US Citizen 30-day tourist visa thing -> Apply for and get the 90-day Non-Immigrant B Visa -> Apply for and get a Work Permit

Answer summary

The user considers delaying their application for a Non-Immigrant B Visa until after arriving in Thailand on a 30-day tourist visa. They inquire about the feasibility and potential issues of this approach, specifically regarding the application timeline for the visa and subsequent work permit.
