These rules were put together originally many years before the advent of the Internet, video teleconferencing, email, Secure Internet signatures. We are at an age where complicated multi-party mortgage loans can be signed and legally executed by signatures done on the Internet but process a B Visa by 20-30-40 year old technologies. A color PDF - Portable Document File file is 99.9999% the same as an original document and has secure signature capability. PDFs are used by the tens of thousands ( maybe hundreds) of times daily around the world to execute signature binding documents BUT cannot be used to securely transmit a completed WP. 3 and Official Letter to a Thai Consular services office in Penang or anywhere. This would save 3 to 5 to 7 days on the wait time for B Visa processing in a regional country. Several people have tried it in Penang and their application was thrown out. It is easy to do... Only a scanner is needed with the Free software that comes with most scanners. But Snail Mail wins the Marathon for endurance.

I would think an enterprising person could establish - say - an Export / Import company in their home country. Then tailor it to meet the requirements of this Thailand 3 year Multi Entry B Visa with all necessary documentation. Then roam all over Thailand looking for - testing and evaluating items for Export and Import

I don't recall any being discussed here.

I know what you mean Sean from your previous remarks. I can only guess such a B Visa for assessing business opportunities, factory sites, etc. are still issued but I have no personal knowledge of such. It would seem to be rare these days. Maybe it is one of the 10 WP.X at the Link Tod posted.

And no - it is not a Geek video puzzle game but should be!!!!!

Some People get to use a WP. 1. Someone else will have to explain that

A stamped successful WP Application Receipt called a WP. 3 with an Official Labor Ministry Forms Letter that comes up to 5 or more days later neither of which will be generated until the Applicant proves that he is out of Thailand. Then when both are finished and given to a Visa Agent who sends them by International mail to the Applicant. The B Visa Applicant then presents these documents along with the entire Application Documents package to the Thailand Consular Staff. No WP. 3 - - the B Visa is not processed in most countries

Then this stretched out fiasco of game playing over 9-12-14 days with the WP 3

I agree and guys ran around whole year and not much was said or done
