Can we apply for a Non-B visa for teaching jobs in Thailand from the UAE instead of South Africa?
My wife and I both got offered teaching jobs in Thailand. We have to get our non b visa ourselves. Do we have to get it from our home country (South Africa) or can we get it from our country of residence (United Arab Emirates)

If you have residence in the UAE you can ask the Thai embassy if you can apply there for a non imm b (1 year ). For this option you must have all the paperwork done by your employer. Otherwise you can do a non imm B (90 days) in Laos and then fo the extension inside after getting all the papers from your employer. Be careful of the 90 day option as you will be 100% mercy of your employer. If they dont honor their word you could be left stranded.

Your employer should provide you the documents needed to apply for this Non Immigrant B visa. Best is to ask them.
