yes I agree, but that's not the point of the situation he is in though. Ideally it would be best to have Thai citizenship, but that's not the situation. He isn't married or plans to be anytime soon.

@Tod ********

4 - then you apply for an in country 90 day Non-B visa based on employment with documentation from your employer, pay the 2000baht and get an under consideration stamp

A point you've already answered, but the immigration stated that one would have to apply for a Non-B outside the country, unless its a Tourist Visa being converted to a Business Visa.

Leaving for him will not be an option, since the return will cost more than the effort is worth.

I appreciate your assistance immensely once again. Thank you

Wow! Regardless of the relevance to Chiang Mai office, it provides a wonderful overview of the expected documentation.

You’ve don’t a stellar job taking the time to post this.

Thank you. 🙂

Not going to Laos.

Tod so Kota Baru, it would take 2 days minimum then? Which one is quicker, the van or train from Hat Yai.

@Jason ********

by what means do your teachers usually travel by? Van or train?

@Jason ********

yes, first heading back home to Thailand and then would like to start the “fresh procedure”.

I think I overcomplicated the situation.

Should’ve just asked what’s the quickest way to do it.

Apologies 😅😆

I only mentioned me holidaying in Vietnam as an indication that the visa has already been canceled since I’ve left the country already.

@Robert ******

Once again, as mentioned the visa and work permit has been canceled already.

Ok, let me start again. I’m now on holiday in Vietnam. No relevance to my question.

I’d like to know what’s the most efficient way to get the Non-B from Thailand. Getting back from this holiday isn’t an issue or question at hand. Just would like to know how to do it once I do to for the Non-B in Malaysia

Robert to answer the hanging question though, South Africans are eligible for Visa Exemptions so I’d come back from “holiday” Vietnam with that and then would like to proceed to Malaysia after the public holiday on Monday. Perhaps that created the confusion.
