Any South Africans on the group to assist with visa application. My husband accepted a job offer and will relocate soon. We are busy with his visa application. The green ticks is what we are able to submit and red ticks what the portal does not allow us to do. The company requires the biodata page of passport ✅ proof of accommodation in Thailand ✅ photograph ✅ bank statement ✅ pay ✅ current location ✅ ticket ✅ job offer/contract ❌ company financial report ❌ company legal compliance ❌

Once you pay and it is incorrect the payment is non refundable. I am sure we are doing something simple wrong but some advise will be great.

For good measure there is a note in red that says the Pretoria embassy is closed. South Africans will understand.

Thank you anf super grateful 🙏
Answer summary
A South African couple is seeking assistance with their husband's Non-B visa application for Thailand. They have successfully collected required documents (like the biodata passport page, proof of accommodation, and a job offer) but cannot upload essential company paperwork due to limitations on the application portal. Despite having documents ready, the portal only allows submissions for some items. Community members suggest checking visa types, logging out and clearing the browser cache, or contacting Thai authorities for guidance.

Given your visa and work permit are sponsored by your husband's company they have to provide you with the company Paper work required to support the application

No company paperwork no visa.. It's really that simple

Paul Anthony McDermott hi Paul. Thank you. We have all the company docs ready to upload but the portal doesn't give us the option to upload the BOI, Visa insurance, company lisence, company balance sheet, DBD, job offer or employment contract. We can only upload biodata, proof of accommodation here and in Thailand, bank statements and photos. Nothing else

Clayton Cindy I think you are applying for the wrong visa type. You need to find the e-visa application for the SPECIFIC type of the 90-days Non-Imm-B Employment Visa. There are several employment categories to be chosen from . . . . .

What you seem to be missing is the information from the company. You can't apply for a Non-B visa without the company providing the information to allow you to do so

@Clayton ******
in which case I don't know. Perhaps logging out and clearing your browser cache before trying again, or trying a different browser?

@John *********
the red crosses are for the documents that we have on hand and want to submit but on the portal there are no options to attach the documents.

We have an approved BOI, Visa insurance from the employer, company lisence, financial balance sheet, formal job offer, employment contract and the company DBD - but nowhere to submit on the portal.
