Do my non-B Visa and work permit need the same start date as my contract when applying as a teacher?
When applying for a non-B Visa (as a teacher) do my Visa and work permit need to have the same start date as my contract?
Answer summary
When applying for a Non-B Visa as a teacher, the visa and work permit do not need to have the same start date as your employment contract. The visa's validity begins upon being stamped in your passport, while the work permit becomes valid once it is signed and stamped by the Ministry of Labor. You can only commence work after obtaining both the visa in your passport and the work permit.

No, you're visa gets valid at the moment it is attached into your passport and as this will be a Single Entry Non Immigrant B visa get stamped used and invalid as soon as you cross the border into Thailand. The Work Permit gets valid at the moment it is stamped and signed by the Ministry of Labor, your contract gets valid when signed by you and your employer. BUT you can only start to work if the visa is in your passport and you got the Admitted to Stay based on that visa and the work permit is in your pocket.
