Is an IELTS score accepted instead of TOEIC for obtaining a Non-B visa in Thailand?
Anyone knows if IELTS score is accepted instead of TOEIC to get a Non-B visa?
Answer summary
The consensus among the comments is that the IELTS score is not accepted for the Non-B visa; the required test is TOEIC. Several users mentioned that despite having valid IELTS scores, individuals were still required to take the TOEIC test to meet the visa requirements. The minimum score needed on the TOEIC for Thai government requirements is typically around 550 points.

For thai nationals the TOEIC is hard but for everyone else it is so easy 🙈 in Sweden we dont have TOEIC or can to the test there since it is considered english in schools are at such a high level 👍 but I am thinking of doing it here in Bangkok just for the fun of it and think I will get over 900 but hope for 950+ 😁

Exactly. I will ask my employer to double check with the Ministry of Education, though.Henry *********
That's way higher than a high TOEIC score, so should be more than good enough. But I have no idea if they would understand that.

What band for IELTS? A band 4 is probably not good enough, but band 6.5+ should be more than sufficient

550 points at least as Thai government request right?

That would depend on the place you're working for more than the consulate you're going to so you can get a Non-B visa.
