Non-Immigrant B (Work Visa)

The Non-Immigrant B visa is required for employment in Thailand. After obtaining the visa, you must apply for a work permit from the Ministry of Labor (typically 7 days). Standard companies must have THB 2 million registered capital per foreign employee and employ 4 Thai workers per foreigner. BOI-promoted companies are exempt from these ratios and can process visas/permits in 1 day via One Stop Service. SMART visa holders in targeted industries get work permit exemption. Annual extensions require continued employment and tax filings.
