Hello,
I'd like to ask for advice, especially from fellow Germans in this group :)
I'm currently in Germany getting ready to go back to Thailand. Since my work permit and non b have expired, I need to get new ones. The Thai Embassy in Berlin gave me a list of documents I need to submit in order to get a non b visa here. One of the required documents is the WP3/Work Permit or a document which states that I'm approved to get one when I'm in Thailand and it has to be issued by the Thai Labour Department. My school spoke to the Labour Department and they said I need to submit the medical check and the police background check (along with other documents of course) and I'm really confused since I also have to submit a police background check at the Thai Embassy in Berlin and I'm not sure if it's enough to get one only in English, same with the medical certificate.
However, long story short question: Are there people here in this group - especially Germans - who got a non b and needed to submit a work permit in order to get it as well? I'd like to know how you got the WP3 when you weren't in Thailand and what documents you needed to submit - especially as a teacher. Thank you in advance / Vielen Dank im Voraus! :)
TLDR : Answer Summary
A German expat is seeking advice on how to obtain a NON-B visa and work permit from Germany after their previous permits have expired. They are confused about the required documents, such as the WP3 work permit and whether checks need to be done in English. Comments suggest alternatives like entering Thailand on a tourist visa and highlight that the WP3 application must be submitted in Thailand by the employer.
