A Non B stands for “business” visa. It’s for employment. It’s where a company employs you (and pays you) to work for them.

A Non O (volunteer) visa is for people that “work” at an institution but don’t get paid. A work permit is still a requirement to do that though regardless that you’re not getting paid.

What address should I use in Thailand when applying for a DTV visa if I'm only staying in a hotel?

Stuart *********

Put the hotel address. If they don’t list it on their website look it up on google maps.

Where can I obtain multiple sets of fingerprints in Thailand or nearby countries?

@Kim *********

I was obviously being facetious about most people only having 10 fingers but really couldn’t comprehend why you’d need 16 sets.

Perhaps others who have had the same issue can advise.

What should I do if my funds were briefly below the required 400K during my annual extension application in Thailand?

@Tom ******

It’s actually probably the best suggestion. Contrary to popular belief most offices will try to help you rectify an error if they can. It may not be an issue for them anyway.

I don’t know the policies of the other 80+ offices either. I know Phuket will issue them if they haven’t used them but some offices may or may not.

I really have no idea about this one. I can’t comprehend why you’d need 16 sets of fingerprints (most people only have 10).

Perhaps you could explain why and others who may have had to go through the process could help.

@Steve ******

If they haven’t used that option before and like everything here at the discretion of the office they use.

@Tom ******

Again that’s going to be at the discretion of the office you use. It may work for you. You’ll have to ask them.

What type of visa do I need to volunteer in Thailand?

Stuart *********

That would be a Non O (Volunteer) visa.

Basically rare as hens teeth these days due to systemic abuse for years.

It will depend on the institution you want to volunteer for as to whether they can obtain one for you.

If they can you’d also need to obtain a work permit to actually volunteer there (regardless that no money would be paid).

That’s probably going to be at the discretion of your immigration office. As a guess I’d say they may well reject your application and you’d need to start over.
