Non-Quota Immigrant Visa: <\/b>Non-quota immigrant visas are issued to foreign residents of Thailand who wish to travel abroad, similar to re-entry permits. This type of visa is stamped in the passport and must be used together with residence documents and endorsed each time the holder enters or leaves the kingdom. The fee for this type of visa is 1,900 baht for one entry and 3,800 Baht for multiple entries within a specified period of time.<\/span><\/p>\n

T<\/b>ransit Visa;<\/b>Transit visas are issued to foreigners passing through Thailand. Application procedures are the same as for tourist visas, but the period of stay and visa fees differ.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

B<\/b>usiness visa (non-immigrant B visa):<\/b>The non-immigrant B visa, also called the business visa in Thailand. There are two categories of the non-immigrant B visa, which are:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Non-immigrant B visa (conducting business) issued to foreigners who wish to set up or conduct business in Thailand.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Non-immigrant B visa (employment) issued to foreigners who intend to work in Thailand.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Foreigners can apply for either a single-entry visa (<\/span>90 days non-immigrant visa<\/span><\/a>) or a multiple-entry visa (<\/span>one-year non-immigrant visa<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

    The single-entry visa is issued by the Thai embassy or consulate aboard or in your home country and allows a stay of 90 days.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The visa must be used within 90 days from the issuance date, and it grants the holder a 90-day stay inside Thailand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Tourist Visa; <\/b>This visa type, as its name states, is issued to foreigners entering Thailand as tourists. Like the non-immigrant visa, this visa type must be obtained abroad before travelling to Thailand. Upon arrival a stay of 60 days will be granted, which may be extended by another 30 days (according to Immigration Bureau policies, citizens of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Iran, Nigeria, Togo, and Uganda are granted extensions of only 7 days).<\/span><\/p>\n

    Holders of this type of visa may not apply for a work permit. Holders of tourist visas may apply to change the visa to a non-immigrant visa if they wish to work in Thailand or are afraid that they may not be granted a long term extension of stay without non-immigrant visa.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Education visa (non-immigrant ED visa); <\/b>The education visa or the non-immigrant ED visa is issued to students who wish to enter Thailand for a full-time education course, internship or other training programs.The student visa is valid for 90 days.
