DTV APPROVED

London Thai Embassy

Applied 24th Aug

(Waited to finalise my flight booking)

Submitted flight booking 23rd Sept

Received 24th Sept

Documents required

Contract from company stating the right to work abroad.

Letter addressed to Thai embassy confirming my role and right to work abroad.

Bank statement with 500,000thb from ONE ACCOUNT. Statement PDF.

I had initially not attached flight info to the application as I applied with Pedang Besar as my entry. I then had to prove travel from London - Thailand (including any layovers) and show my flight ticket.

Visa was issued the following day after submitting my flight.

How can I get a Performer’s / actors “O” type visa?

Long story short.

I am a successful touring DJ , singer, and music producer (played major festivals with Snoop Dogg, SEVENTEEN, etc) actress (commercials only) , and content creator.

I am not SAG-AFRA. But I’ve booked major TV commercials.

I know in Japan for example, there’s companies like GxPlus , Halo Live, etc who sponsor foreign entertainers and YouTubers for the explicit purpose of promoting Japan soft power and allowing them to work with Japanese brands etc.

I’m guessing there are similar companies here, as I have seen foreigners in ads, commercials, and obviously DJing etc.

I have a large Asian and western following with many media articles about me to prove this for immigration sake (I know many countries ask for media coverage)

Anyways does this sound plausible?

I don’t care about the actual earning potential in baht because I still earn passively from my US / Canadian work.

Hi everyone, i have my own company here and recently i got non b and then work permit for 6 month only . Is it normal . Usually it is 3 months then can extend to one year isn’t it . Why 6 month ? Can anyone explain this

Hello, I applied for a non b visa which I got and will be over on the 25th December, in the meantime I got my work permit which has a 1 year validity. What is the next step? Should I go to immigration on the 25th December for any procedure or is it done, I can just stay normally? Is there anything else I should do? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi all

I am fairly new to this group and I am seeking advice.

I work for a multinational company that has offices in Bangkok I have asked my company if I can relocate to Thailand. I requested this in December last year and they have been dragging their feet.

They have just informed me that they are happy to employ me in Thailand if I go through the process of getting my marriage visa and applying for a work permit myself.

I am married to a Thai national and I am in the process of buying a house. I have a bank account and my plan has always been to move to Thailand in November this year.

My manager has asked me to check if there is another way of them getting me to Thailand they say that their quota is full.

My question is this, I know that I have to apply for the 90 day visa which I can exchange to the 1 year ‘ marriage visa’ after 2 months but can I apply for the work permit only after the extension is granted?

I.e will I have to be unemployed for 2 months whilst waiting for my extension

Can I have my two laptop with me? One for work and one for my personal use. Or, immigration will disallow one. Thanks.

I need recommendations please for an agent who can take over a NON IMM B application from tourist visa and then work permit. Bangkok based please and district is Nonthaburi for processing.

Hello! My school need some help to provide us with a work permit.

Any agent recommendation who can speed up the process?

We got a non-B already.

Thank you

Does anyone know if you can get more than 1 work permits (given that both employers agree) if you are with a Non-O visa?

(I will be coming to Thailand shortly with a Non - O visa and I’d like to eventually find a job and I’m used to work 2-3 different jobs)

Is it possible to do so in Thailand? Thank you!

Good evening

I'd like to check my understanding. When in Thailand you can apply for an extension of stay based on visiting Thai family (no financial requirement). This extension is one year. Is this correct?

Also, are you allowed to work on said extension of stay? I'm moving to Thailand to marry my long term girlfriend but due to the 2 month seasoning for the 400,000 baht there wont be enough time to apply for it off a 30 day visa exemption + one 30 day extension. I have just come back from working aboard and couldn’t get the 60 day tourist visa.

Any advice would be appreciated

Regards
