About Work Visas for Thailand
The Thailand Non-Immigrant B Work Visa is an official visa for people who are going to work or conduct business in Thailand.
The visa is used by people who have been employed by an employer in Thailand or who will be carrying out business-related activities that require this visa category. In most cases, you will also need to apply for a work permit after arriving in Thailand.
The visa is valid for three months from the date of issue and is a single-entry visa. You must enter Thailand before the visa's validity expires.
After entry, you can stay in Thailand for up to 90 days from the date the immigration authority stamps your passport on arrival.
If you are going to continue working in Thailand after the first 90 days, you need to apply for an extension and work permit through your employer in Thailand. The final decision is always made by the Thai authorities.
You will need the following documents to apply:
- Completed visa application
- Copy of passport information page

- Visa photo
- A letter from the employer in Thailand, stating all the information regarding the work. Position, salary, period of employment and other information
