What supporting evidence do I need for my Type-B Work Visa application for Thailand?

Type-B Work Visa Thailand Visa Application Proof of Citizenship Financial Evidence International School Employment

ORIGINAL POSTER

Good evening all,

Currently applying for my Type-B Work Visa ready for later on in July when I (hopefully) move to Thailand to take up my job as a teacher in an international school.

These are probably really, really stupid questions, but I'm stumped on 2 parts of supporting evidence I need for my application:

For part 9, it says on the UK Thai Embassy website, proof that I am a UK citizen.  Will I just upload another copy of my passport as that proves I'm a UK resident?

Secondly, for part 10, financial evidence, on the UK Thai Embassy website, it says "Financial evidence e.g. bank statements, proof of earnings, proof of sponsorship from a third party" - do they want to see my UK bank statement or will they want to see paperwork outlining my salary from the school I'm going to be working at?

Thanks in advance for the answers to my daft questions - I guess this just whets my appetite for the onslaught of paperwork I will be facing when I do (hopefully) move to Thailand! :D

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is applying for a Type-B Work Visa to teach at an international school in Thailand and seeks clarification on two aspects of the supporting evidence required: proof of UK citizenship and financial evidence. Comment responses suggest that a copy of the passport suffices for proof of citizenship, while for financial requirements, a letter from the employer indicating salary should be adequate, although submitting a bank statement showing at least 20,000 baht is recommended for extra security.

Hey

@Br***

, welcome to the group.

Some of the requirements get repetitive sometimes as they add them to the list or try and cover multiple types of applicants (like non UK residents applying in the UK).

Your passport is sufficient to show residency. As for the financial l, I don't believe the Non-B requires a bank statement. Your letter from your employer should state your salary which should be sufficient, however I'd probably submit a print out of your bank statement showing at least 20k baht ($800 usd) to be safe as that's the requirement for a tourist.

Please let us know how it goes, I'm curious how they'll handel new visas during this time. Good luck!

You can't be first in the queue at the Embassy in the UK.

It is E visa application only. Meaning you apply online.

Thanks for the reply! I'll start chasing up the paperwork from my new employer whilst I'm waiting on my police certificate to arrive!

At the moment the UK Embassy in London is closed for visas but open for Thai nationals (they reckon until July which fits in with the other news about reopening the country I guess) but hoping to get my application draft done ready for when it the visa services reopen so I can be first in the queue at the embassy :P (wishful thinking perhaps!)
