I have that exact same stamp on my non-o single entry based on marriage, from Vientiane. Since then been on 1 year extensions.. Asked my wife just now, and she say it just says the same in Thai as the English text under: "royal thai embassy Vientiane"

I guess you used the WP 3 form and other forms from your employer to apply for this Visa. To work inside Thailand you need next to the visa the Work Permit. If you apply again you just show the work permit as asked.

I have the same notation from the same embassy. From the best advice I've gathered, if you are working you are only meant to have one non B visa without a work permit. If you don't have it when your current non B runs out I suppose they can deny you another non B.

That's what I was made to understand, but wait a bit and one of the experts should be on here to confirm.

oh I see so it's just basically saying get to Thailand and get your work permit and extension of stay or there won't be another non b in the future?
