Good morning, everyone!

I recently got a job offer, but I am a bit confused about the process for obtaining a working visa. I’m currently in Thailand on a tourist visa. My employer has advised me to contact the Colombian embassy in Bangkok, which I have done. However, they informed me that they only handle visas for travel to Colombia, not for the type of working visa I need.

I’ve heard it may be possible to process a working visa from Thailand, but I’m not sure how that works. Does anyone know if I can complete the process here, or would I need to travel to another country to start the visa application? If I need to apply from another country, how long would the process take, and what would the costs be for staying abroad during that time?

Additionally, I’d like to understand what my employer is responsible for paying in terms of the visa process.

Thank you in advance for any advice or guidance!

Hi! I need to transfer my Thai working Visa and re-entry stamp from old passport to a new one (old one only has 1 free page left). Does anyone know which documents do I need to give to the Immigration in Bangkok to do the transfer? How much will it cost to do the transfer and how long does it usually take?

With a working visa....is there any problem to leave Thailand spontaneous for example for holidays? Or is there a need to inform the government, before leaving the country or something like that?
