Hello everyone! So to provide some context, the company that’s supposed to hire me has to drop the employment due to covid. Im still looking to come into Thailand (Bangkok) in October and im in need of some visa advice. 

If the company that’s supposed to hire me can still provide me with a non-b should I still enter the country with that or would it be better for me to enter with a tourist visa? Also is Thailand still giving out Ed visa?

Thank you any advice will be very appreciated! :)

You can get an ED visa in Thailand, but you can’t apply for one outside of Thailand unless it’s for a university or international school.

that’s up to the school you’ll be attending and your local immigration office, but generally yes.
