What type of visa should I apply for to work in Thailand as a first-time expat?
Please I want to relocate to Thailand and start working I have never been there and I don't know anyone please what type of Visa should I apply for and what should I know more please be honest
Answer summary
To work in Thailand, you typically need a Non-B visa, which requires a job offer from a Thai employer who will sponsor you. It's essential first to secure employment, as many jobs are reserved for Thai citizens. Additionally, it's advisable to visit Thailand before making a relocation decision to understand the environment better and to research the visa processes, which can be complex.

You can't just decide you want to work in Thailand. You first need to find an employer who will sponsor you for a Non-B visa which allows you to then obtain a work permit. Many jobs are reserved for Thai people only and there is a minimum wage requirement for foreign workers that varies depending which country you are a citizen of

You want to move to a place that you’ve never been to? You need to go and visit for a few weeks. You may realize it’s not for you and save you a lot of time and money.
