Hey Peter, we can most likely help. Did you get my email I sent to you, after you contacted us (Iglu) via the contact form?

Got some more info from there and apparently the visa application process takes up to 30 days..

In case this is relevant for anyone; our Admin managed to call them this morning and the Vientiane embassy confirmed Iranian nationals can apply for a Non-B there (y)

What kind of work do you do? We could possibly help you at if you're working in the IT/tech industry.

Vientiane and Penang are OK for SA nationals, based on our HR staff calling the embassies recently to ask. However no experience of actually getting the visa there yet.

Hi John, yes sure, IT project management is an eligible profession to do under Iglu. Please PM me or send me an email if you would like to discuss more.

actually it can matter, if you're not receiving funds from Thailand you can prove that you are not engaging in any local work / business. I saw one example where a guy on a tourist visa was visiting and working from his friends office in Bangkok (remotely for a UK company) and some jealous local reported him to the labour dept. The labour dept. officials raided the office and the guy let them go through his laptop, showing them he's just visiting and just doing work for his employer back in the UK. They let him go with a smile.

For anyone else interested, our HR checked with Penang today and they confirmed on the phone to be able to process 90-day Non-B's for SA nationals.

With (or the equivalent from the BOI in case there is any difference)

Perfect thanks
