Non-Immigrant B Visa Sponsorship & Assistance
All costs related to acquiring the Non-Immigrant B Visa will
originally be the teacher’s responsibility.
Most teachers will be able to obtain their Non-Immigrant B Visa at a
Thai consulate or embassy in their home country prior to their
departure. All other teachers may enter the Kingdom of Thailand on a
free 30 day transit Visa, and obtain the Non-Immigrant B Visa in Laos
(Malaysia for South Africans).
Teachers who are unable to obtain the Visa prior to departure, who are
attending the training/orientation course, will be assisted by our
staff during a 2-3 day trip to Laos to obtain a 90 day single entry
Non-Immigrant B Visa. Average costs for this trip in previous years
have ranged from 5000-6000 baht per teacher. (This includes all
transportation, accommodation, Laos Visa, Thai Non-Immigrant B Visa).
The estimated costs for the trip will be prepared and teachers must
pay costs in advance. If the trip is completed under the estimated
budget, the remaining monies will be returned to each teacher upon
return to Bangkok. Teachers will be expected to follow the schedule
and plan arranged by us. All travel and accommodation plans will be
arranged and prepared by us.
Teachers arriving following the completion of the training/orientation
course may not be accompanied by a member of our staff in obtaining
the Non-Immigrant B Visa in Laos. However, an information package will
be provided, complete with Thai and English instructions. Also,
teachers will be assisted and accompanied up until their departure at
Bangkok’s Morchit bus station. All teachers must have a Non-Immigrant
B Visa before they are able to begin teaching.
Work Permit
Schools will pay for the processing fees in obtaining the Work Permit
for teachers signing a longer contract. Teachers are responsible for
the costs of, supplying with, any and required copies of educational
documents, passport pages, health certificate, and pictures. The
application for Work Permits cannot be made until a Non-Immigrant B
Visa is secured. Applications will begin roughly 2 weeks after
teaching begins.
*In the case of changing school; if the teacher already received the
work permit but prefer to change to new school (differences province),
the cost of obtain the work permit for the new school will be in the
teacher’s responsibility.*
