Thailand Business Visa Process (Overview)
Employment in Thailand
Foreigners intending to work in Thailand must first obtain a 90-Day Non-Immigrant B Visa under the employment category. The employer then sponsors the visa and applies for a Thai Work Permit. Once the work permit is issued, the visa may be extended to a 1-Year Non-Immigrant B Visa at a local Immigration Office.
In some cases, applicants may enter Thailand on another visa to seek employment. However, once a job offer is secured, the applicant is required to leave Thailand and apply for the Non-Immigrant B Visa at a Thai Embassy or Consulate abroad.
The general process for obtaining a Thailand Business Visa includes:
- Preparing all required personal and corporate documents
- Submitting the application at a Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate
- Paying the applicable visa fees
- Entering Thailand under the 90-Day Non-Immigrant B Visa
- Applying for a 1-Year extension of stay (if applicable)
Processing time typically ranges from 5 to 10 business days, depending on the location of application and document completeness.
