Is it possible to obtain a Non-B visa while on a tourist visa in Thailand?

Question

Hi, I wondered if you may be able to help me. I am in BKK and on a two month tourist visa. I have been here 1 month already and have just 4 weeks left. I already had a trip to Thailand once this year and so had extended from 2 months to 3 months tourist visa a while back this year before going back to the uk for a while and coming back again for this holiday. So an extension has already been done this year.

I have just been offered a job in an international Kindergarten in BKK and the interviewer said that they would be able organise my non B visa within the month i have left on my tourist visa. My tourist visa runs out on 8th September. Do you think this is realistic or possible?

As i was about to go to Laos this Tuesday for an ED visa to do a Thai course so i could stay but the interviewer said i dont have to go to Laos and that they can process a non B in that time (within a month).

Does anyone have any experience of a non B visa for someone already in Thailand? and can extensions be done a 2nd time in a year within Thailand if the non B ran late? Last time it was in Chiangmai  for the month extension and this time I am in BKK

Thanks :)

The user is currently on a two-month tourist visa in Bangkok and has been offered a job at an international kindergarten. They ask if it is possible to process a Non-B visa during the last month of their tourist visa, which expires on September 8. Users in the comments confirm that a 30-day extension for a different visa type is possible, and upon obtaining the necessary documents from the employer, applying for the Non-B visa within the month is feasible. They can also apply for a one-year extension of stay once the Non-B is obtained.

You can do a30 day extension for 1900 baht if this is a different visa from the one you already extended and do you have all your paperwork fro

Your school??

Robert ******* · Answer

As this is a new Tourist Visa you can apply again once for a 30 day Extension of Stay. The company should be able to produce the documents to apply for the Work Permit and for a Non Immigrant  visa within 30 days. if the documents are ready, you visit a Thai Consulate get the Single Entry Non Immigrant B visa, come back Thailand, get 90 days of Stay, pick up your work permit and start work, Before the end of these 90 days you visit with documents of your employer the Immigration office to apply for a 1 year Extension of Stay.
