I have an unbelievable story! One of our new teachers in the office (July) actually got a work permit today! He should be getting his non b this week. Yes, you can swoon now. Heβs from Wales.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A new teacher from Wales recently obtained a work permit (WP) and is expecting his Non-B visa soon. The process seems unusual since typically, one must secure a Non-B visa prior to getting a work permit. Some community members discuss possible scenarios that might explain this situation, including special procedures for teachers in Thailand and the possibility of having prior documentation from another school.
