For the record the Thai consulate in Saigon will issue a single entry non B without needing proof of filing for a work permit. Last month I collected my second back to back non b there.

What are the current requirements for obtaining a Non-B visa from the Thai consulate in Hong Kong, particularly regarding the Work Permit 3?

Sean ********

I would think non b applications for visiting businessmen would be a lot.

Sorry I don't understand what you are referring to. What is a WP 3?

What should have been said or done? Legitimate visa for someone coming here on business to visit factories, have meetings, etc

You used to be able to get a one year multi entry B visa without a work permit, then a few years ago they changed the rules and you can now only get a single entry non b if you don't have a work permit.

The embassy staff who took receipt of my second application was less laissez-faire and quizzed me about not having a work permit. She also insisted on seeing a flight out of Thailand which meant I had to buy one (which I probably won't use).

I'm guessing 2 non b is the limit. So my next visa will be a tourist visa from HK.

I applied recently (a month ago) for my second non b from Saigon. I had no WP3 (whatever that is). Just the invitation letter and all the regular company docs.

What are the visa options and costs in Thailand for obtaining a work permit?

Sean ********

Companies (ie Not schools) should have no issue paying as they are likely paying you several hundred thousand a month. Teaching jobs on the other hand, especially if just some small local school paying low rates probably don't want the extra cost of visas.

That would be my guess anyway.

What should I do about my expired tourist visa in Thailand and the overstayed stamp?

Sean ********

I would fly to Saigon and apply for your first non b there. You'll only get a single entry 90 day non b without a work permit.
