Any ideas where to get non-B done and if I can travel to Thailand at the moment?

I have work permit valid until 25th of August and many sources say that it should be possible, but the Thai embassy in Finland strongly disagrees.

Thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking information on obtaining a Non-B visa and whether it is possible to travel to Thailand at this time, given they have a work permit that is valid until August 25th. Comments indicate that the user must follow the Thai Embassy's instructions for obtaining a Certificate of Entry and that the work permit alone is insufficient to enter Thailand, especially if the embassy disagrees with the policy.

You fit number 8 on the list with your work permit, which should only be issued to you with a valid non-B and usually a visa extension and reentry permit. Unfortunately, as Robert says, the only way to get the Cert of Entry is if your local embassy issues it to you, and if they disagree in interpretation of the policy above, you have a difficult situation. They also control the passenger list for the repatriation flights, so they also need to allow you a spot on a repatriation flight. Normal commercial flights will not accept incoming passengers until the CAAT opens for arrivals.

The only way is to sign up with the Thai Embassy and follow their instructions for the Certificate of Entry and after that the needed visa, but you still need to provide all the requirements for this visa,

a Work Permit is not enough to go to Thailand,
