Hey guys, my prospective employer has advised me to apply for a Non-Immigrant (B) visa; I have browsed through the checklist for Malaysian applicants which I have attached. I have 3 questions -

1. Seems like the checklist does not include 'proof of employment' letters, can I confirm that 'proof of employment' letters are only needed to apply for work permit once I am already working in Thailand?

1. Is there a minimum monthly salary (THB) needed to work in Thailand legally? (I have read in a forum that it is 40k THB)

1. Aside from the checklist, what other documents are needed in advanced so I am able to prepare them ahead of time? (eg work permit application documents etc)

Have a great week ahead!

yes, as they need at least copies of your passport, your education, your CV to mention a few things depending on what type of work you're going to do

 Noted; all my employer has informed me is that they would issue me a few documents to be submitted to the embassy; my employer has not asked me for any documents, does that sound strange to you?

My passport is Malaysian; and it seems like the required documents are pretty straightforward. I am just wondering in which stage do I need to provide proof of employment/medical certificate, would it be to apply for work permit?

 Have you asked these questions to your employer yet? I would imagine you're not the first employee to get a Non-B.
