Thank you so much for the advice you gave me in private about using a postgraduate diploma for non-B instead of a degree, which I lacked. I followed your advice, went to the Vientiane Thai Embassy, and they requested my saqa and a transcript. They calculated everything, then took my passport. When I returned today, it had a stamp. Thank you for those who have advised me accordingly indeed a postgraduate diploma is above a degree

I'm just curious, as my school is putting together the paperwork for me to travel to Laos. I have a postgraduate diploma from the University of Cape Town, and I've heard conflicting reports about whether the Thai consulate will recognize it. A postgraduate diploma is higher than a degree or a btech. degree is a nqf 7 and a postgraduate diploma is nqf 8 respectively. Bangkok is where I am from South Africa. I simply needed to know how it went because I had heard that individuals with a background in btech were granted a non-B visa.
