Business — Non-B + Work Permit
The Non-B is for working for a Thai-registered employer. It requires both the job and a Work Permit — neither the visa nor the permit alone lets you work. Your employer files a WP.3 pre-approval before you collect the visa.
Independent guide, not legal advice.
Who it's for
People with a job offer from a Thai-registered company that can sponsor both the Non-B visa and the Work Permit.
Requirements
- A job offer from a Thai company (about ฿2M registered capital per foreign hire).
- A Work Permit in addition to the visa — neither the visa nor the permit alone lets you work.
- The employer files a WP.3 pre-approval before you collect the Non-B at an embassy.
Document checklist
- Passport
- Job offer + employer documents (WP.3 pre-approval letter)
- Non-B visa (single ฿2,000 / multi ฿5,000 / 3-year ฿10,000)
- Work Permit (issued after entry, 750–3,000 THB)
