Anonymous participant 229 I think they are just making things up as they go along as delaying tactics.

@Raed ***

Looks like they are and they use tactics like these. Crazy

Anonymous participant Do they not have to give you the WP3 as part of the package to apply for the "B". They do not have to wait for you to leave the country to start the process with the Ministry of Labour. I know some sites say the WP3 is for applicants not already in Thailand but they are getting that wrong/explaining it wrongly The employer can apply while you are in Thailand and give you it and all else needed to level and apply for the initial 90 day "B" - at least that is what I did and others I know.

Anonymous participant The company I worked for preferred me to go to Singapore for the "B" rather than try in-country. The HR was very experienced with Visa and WP for foreign staff so I just went along with their preferences.

Anonymous participant That is a long time. We were told 3 days Singapore ie hand in one day, SMS the next to come in day after. I have no clue about getting a "B" in Thailand itself. Everyone I know has always left to get it. I did to Cambodia in 1999 and Singapore in 2019. Last time I worked for a large global MNC that is BOI. The HR told me it is easier to apply outside and they know exactly what Singapore require so go there. Good luck - it can be frustrating but after that it is plain saling for renewals etc.

Anonymous participant I understand the frustration - went through similar in 2019. Was told one process but it did not work. I used to live and work Singapore so did not mind 2 paid trips there - saw pals etc. The company employing me also paid me during the whole process even though I was not officially employed which was very nice of them.

Anonymous participant I think what you need answered is will an Embassy process your "B" application while you are on a DTV. If so then no issue - just fly to Singapore or wherever and apply. Check first though.

If I was you I would contact a "Connected" Visa Agent. If they do not have answers at hand they should be able to call an Immigration Office and find out the process - good luck
