Non Immigrant B Visa Application process
You must apply for a single entry Non-Immigrant visa Type B from the Thai Embassy or Consulate. The school sent you a letter to be submitted together with your application for visa. You can download an application form at www.thaiembassy.org.
Expenses related to this application are borne by you, the teacher.
IMPORTANT: After applying for visa, make sure that you have your passport stamped with a single-entry Non-immigrant Type B visa. Without the right type of visa, you may be required to leave the country to apply for the proper visa.
The non-immigrant B visa, the first stamp in the passport, is valid for three months (90 days) from the date of arrival in Thailand, not from the date it is stamped in your passport.
Within these 90 days the school will help you apply for:
Thai teacher license and teaching permit (with the Ministry of Education). This process takes about 1 month.
Work permit (with Ministry of Labor). This process takes another 2 weeks.
Teachers must receive their Work permit before school start in August 2020. Until you have a Work Permit, you are considered a guest.
After the above processes completed, the school will apply on the teacher’s behalf for a one-year visa extension.
This is a sample Visa Application Form, from the Royal Thai Consulate in Chicago. Go to the Embassy/Consulate nearest your home for the Visa application. In the upper right corner of the form, select Non Immigrant Visa and just below that indicate one entry required and complete the form.

Step-by-step Guide for the 90-day Online Reporting
Step-by-step Guide for the 90-day Online Reporting
For foreigners staying in Thailand for a period longer than 90 consecutive days holding a Non-Immigrant Visa or Extension of Stay, you are required by Thai Immigration to report the present address every 90 days. It is that we call “90-day reporting”.
As a general rule, the foreigner must file this report within 15 days before, or within 7 days after, your 90-day period expires. The reporting can be done in person, by an agent, by mail. If the foreigner decides to make the 90-day reporting online, you may do it through the procedure below.
This is the process on how to do the ONLINE 90-day Report or Notification (TM47).
Before you actually use your mobile phone or computer to do the online reporting, there are few things you need to do first:
This reporting has to be the SECOND 90-day reporting or later on your current visa or visa extension of stay. This is important. You have to report in person or by mail on your current visa or visa extension once in the past before you can do an online report. If you have not done so, please report in person or by mail this time.
Make sure you have a browser that’s compatible with the Thai Immigration website. You may use Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox works as well. If you have done the report while using other browsers, the immigration website or 90-day online report page may not work properly.
Turn OFF the browser’s pop up blocker.
Have your passport and arrival card (TM6) information ready.
You cannot do ONLINE reporting earlier that 15 days before the reporting date and not later than 7 days before the reporting date.
Once you have done all that, you can begin the actual step-by-step 90-day reporting part:
Step 1.
Step 1.
Go to https://extranet.immigration.go.th/fn90online/online/tm47/TM47Action.do?cmd=acceptTerm
Read the bulletin and check “*I have read and fully understand the above terms and conditions” and agree to accept them.
Step 2.
Step 2.
Click “Notification of Staying in the Kingdom over 90 days.”
Step 3.
Step 3.
The first page is personal information and travel information. Most of it is easy. Two small details here. First, on entering Nationality. Click inside of the box on Nationality and type just the first letter of your nationality. A list of nationalities will show up. Just pick the one you apply visa or visa extension with. Second, I know this sounds strange, but leave the “Flight number” box BLANK. It’s not a required information and you will not able to proceed until you left the box blank.
Step 4.
Step 4.
The second page is the visa information and the present address. Most of it is easy. On visa information, you may leave “Select Service” blank since I have no clue what it is. The way to enter an address is the same with nationality. Just click inside the box and type the first letter.
Step 5.
Step 5.
The third page is for you to review your information. If everything is OK, click “Accept”
If not, click the blue bar on the left that says “Notification of staying in the Kingdom over 90 days.”
Step 6.
Step 6.
The fourth page is for you to keep a record. Scroll down to a print button, a blue button with a white printer icon on it. Click it. Once you did, a PDF file with the word “PENDING” on the upper right-hand side will show up. Save the file.
Step 7.

On the next page, fill in your Reference number or passport number and click the search button, the blue button with a white magnifying glass. Once you found your application, click on the end of the row that says “VIEW”.
Pay attention to the upper right-hand side. If it says “PENDING”, come back later. If it said “APPROVED” scroll down to the bottom and click on “The Next Appointment (Print)”.
This will bring up “the Next Appointment” slip. Please print it and clip it in your passport.
You are done and you just need to do the same process on your next 90-day online reporting.
