Hi everyone

I volunteer in Thailand with a foundation that teaches English. Some of my friends want to come and join but when they applied for the non immigrant o visa they’ve been told the policy changed 2 days ago and now they require a letter from the Thai government not the foundation chairman. Does anyone know if this is a new change or have any tips on how to get this letter.

Answer summary

A user in Thailand mentions recent changes in the application process for a Non-Immigrant O visa for volunteers. Previously, a letter from the foundation chairman was sufficient, but now applicants are reportedly required to obtain a letter from the Thai government. Comments suggest that while the foundation can help acquire this letter, different embassies may have varying requirements.

They need a letter affirming the foundation is legitimate. Different embassies have different requirements, but the Thai Embassy in Hanoi has required that for years.

The foundation should be able to acquire the letter from the Government.
