ORIGINAL POSTER

I have a friend in America who was just offered a job in Thailand. Thing is, long story short, the org can only help her get a non-imm O (volunteer) visa. Everything I find says to even try to go through the process of getting in you need a non-imm B visa. Anyone know of anyone getting in with a volunteer visa?

Sorry, but at this time those with or seek a Non O volunteer visa are not eligible to seek permission to enter Thailand.
