Any South Africans wanting to work in Thailand must NOT get a visa in Pretoria. It's better to get an exemption on arrival here. I will be getting my non immigrant B visa, but I HAVE to go to Pretoria for it.
They’ve told me they’re sending my passport via courier tomorrow, which is the second last day of my current visa. It will arrive on Tuesday afternoon, which won’t give me enough time to get to Maesai before the border closes, so I’ll have to go on Wednesday, one day late.
