I'm aware Non-M and Non-B are different. I've had both. Simply sharing my experience. Caveat emptor and everyone should, of course, do their own due diligence. The situation with visas seems to be very, shall we say, fluid at the moment and varies greatly from Embassy to Embassy. As I have not applied for a multiple entry in more than a year, I cannot speak to teh current situation. And didn't. :)

Ellie Takei no legal residency required. Someone here quite recently got their Non-B, single entry, in HK - in the last month. I've had two Non-M, single entry, from HK in the last year.

Non-B, multiple entry was available from Hong Kong a year ago when I got one. Not sure of the current situation but HK used to be quick and efficient. Current single entry Non-B was from Manila.

Just had my picture taken in front of the company sign with the CEO for my Non-B one year extension. He said he has to do this for every foreign employee, every time. Also had a pic taken of me at my desk working. In bangkok.

I have everything for working visa. Just wondering if anyone has personal experience in Manila since every Embassy is a little different.
