And similar thing coming to Thailand very soon..

It's a progressive roll out system by system . Same as Singapore did..

Their system has been in the works progressively rolling out for about last 5 years.

I was in one of pilot projects as was in and out of SG a lot on business

as I say that emergency work permit "ad hoc" has been in place for years and regularly used in the industry I am in, in Thailand and have direct experience into it.. 14 days max (yes you get the letter in a day) but still requires a Non Imm B with it 👍

no that would is event planning.. 😁... Not a business meeting...

Business meeting eg Representative from say SG company travels to Thailand attempting to get project work from Thai based MNC.. Meets in BKK to discuss bid or present services (No work permit) ..

Thai company awards contract to SG company ..Same person comes to Thailand to set up project and oversee Thai project office...

Now working... Needs work permit... Subtle but distinct differences 😁

not correct for business meetings.. That's for actual work... Aka an emergency work permit.. Limited to 14 days.. We use them in oil and gas in Thailand to fly in technical equipment specialists at short notice to fix equipment.. One still needs a Non-imm B visa from an embassy with that temporary WP

If flying in and flying out strictly speaking one should be on a Business visa ie a Non-imm B... If he is doing this on a regular basis basis this is grounds to be issued a multiple entry Non Imm B
