How can a professional football player obtain a Non-B visa if their club can't secure a work permit?

Yep, professional Thai clubs are allowed up to 6 foreign players per squad

it sounds like you are trying to bring him in under the professional category of the Smart Visa, which does have the 1 year contract requirement, but not the work permit. It can be for any length, up to two years. Foreign actors get them for just weeks in some cases. There is another way to do it, and changes to the work permit regulations make this possible. Hire him as a coach, with his work permit's primary job as teacher. He can now work in part time jobs under the same work permit, and playing in games would be considered part time, as more hours would be spent as a coach, and actually training with the other players, as hands on training. It used to be that you could only work in one job under the old work permit regulations. Now you can work at other jobs, as long as your primary is the one you spend the most hours in. Just a thought that can work. The requirements for teaching does have an exception to the university degree requirement if the prospective teacher is a recognized professional, with documented experience.
