*SORRY FOR THE REALLY LONG POST about applying for Non Immigrant B visa in London*
I have quite a lot of questions if anyone could help me out at all, i'd be so grateful! I want to get this right first time...
So all the documents on the photo is what I'll need to bring to thai embassy in London, (I want to apply for the imm b visa for 1 year) but most of these documents have to be from the owner of the company I will be hopefully working for in thailand, his english isn't great so I want to make it as simple as possible for him to provide this information!
1. I understand that some of the documents must be signed by him (and affixed the seal of the company, what does this mean too?) Can I just ask him to email me these documents and I can print them off myself, or does he have to send them to me by post from thailand with his signature on, if so which ones does he need to sign?
2. I will hopefully be working at a bungalow/bar/restaurant business in Koh Phangan but I will be 18, can I still work at the bar? i know the drinking age is 20.. Also are there some jobs I will not be able to do as a farang? My highest level of education is a level 3 diploma is this also okay to be able to work at this kind of business? Apparently I will have to be hired as the manager to work for the company?
3. I will be 17 upon arrival for the first 5 days of being in Thailand, Is this okay and will I still be able to apply for a visa here in London while im 17?
4. I would also like to know, once I am in Thailand where can I apply for a work permit? (I will be in Koh Phangan)
5. I have read that the visa will cost £125 are there any other fees/costs?
6. I have also read that you need to show 20,000 Baht does this have to be in cash or can i show bank statement?
7. With the 1 year non immigrant b visa, will i have to leave the country every so often, what does this mean?
8. How do I find out if this company I want to work for can legally hire foreigners? I dont think he ever has before, not long term anyway
Is there any other important information I should know especially when applying for this kind of visa in London or any information about applying for a work permit when im there?
Thanks so much :)
