The agent has said we need the non-immigrant visa in order to then be issued with work permit (sorry my error there) once back in Bangkok. Does that make sense?
Oops. Sorry. It is in order to obtain a work visa. Already approved by company but need to get this visa & then they said work visa could be issued in Thailand in 3-4 days.
