What do you need to show for the 60day covid extension? I have a new teacher who is switching schools (different province) already on a non b extension. However due to closures of offices, such as legalization of documents etc and delays I don't think we can get all the documents ready in time to switch from one NonB to another before she leaves her existing school. I was therefore wondering if it is possible to cancel the Non B from the previous school, apply for a 60 day covid extension and then get all the paperwork ready to convert the covid extension to a new Non B. Do you think this is feasible?

Hello all! 😊

My partner and I are moving from the UK to Bangkok in August (we’ve secured jobs at two international schools as teachers)- Currently, I’m trying to secure our Non-Immigrant Type B visas; it’s proving to be lots of fun. I’d really appreciate the advice of a kind soul/s with regards to a few questions I have. I’ll repay said soul with a beer (or two!) once I’m over there :-P

1) I’m in a position where I need to post our visas to the Thai embassy in London- they only accept cash or postal order. Handy. I’m going to go with the postal order as it’s more secure- however, the maximum value of one of these is £250. The visas are £300 a pop. Does anyone know if the embassy will accept multiple postal orders when I send our applications?

2) On the website ([members only]), there are two sections with requirements for Non-Immigrant type B visas. A ‘general’ one and another section for teachers. The requirements are slightly different (for example, the ‘standard’ one asks for letters of recommendation from prior employers, identifying job description and length of service time). I’d rather not have to ‘chase’ said letters up if I don’t need to. Any idea if these are indeed two separate sections or if I need to send ‘everything’ from ‘every’ section?

Thanks in advance for any support/guidance that can be offered with this! 😊

Hi all, can anyone confirm that the recent changes at the Penang consulate (Non-Imm b multi restrictions) are also being/have already been introduced in Kota Bharu and/or any other if the other foreign embassy’s? Penang wants BOTH home and Thai criminal record checks now. KB only states one. We have two teachers travelling very soon. Any advice/confirmation or shared experience from someone who has travelled there recently or who knows would be greatly appreciated.

Hello does anybody know the average processing time for a non-b visa at the thai embassy in kuala lumpur? Just trying to schedule my flights accordingly. Thanks!
