Needing some assistance please:
Obtained Non-B Visa 90 days (for teaching) in Savannakhet which will expire Sep 24th.
School has now obtained all relevant documents required for Work Permit and appropriate Visa.
Submitted documents to Labour Office last Thursday who have confirmed that WP will be issued this Tuesday 19th September. (Roi-Et)
Contract of employment ends on March 31st 2024. I am assuming that the WP will be issued until this date.
This is where I am stuck/confused.
Once the WP has been issued, I will visit Immigration to get NON-B Visa... (they are next door to each other)
What are the costs for the visa and the length of validity?
Since the last time I went through this process (2017) the rules and regulations have changed
Previously it was 5000 baht for WP to the expiration date of the contract and then Immigration would issue Non-B to the expiry date of the WP regardless of how many months, for 1900 baht single enntry.
Could you please advise what Non-B will be issued and for how long and the cost please.
Basically what are my options.
Thank you.
Andrew.
