    Non-Immigrant B Visa (Business/Work)Work

    90 dayssingle entry3-7d processing~$80valid 90d

    Business activities or employment in Thailand

    For business activities or employment. Requires letter from Thai employer or business. Initial 90-day stay; must obtain work permit and convert to 1-year extension of stay at immigration in Thailand. Multiple-entry Non-B available for established employees. CORRECTED official_url: the previous link (โ€ฆ5d5bcc2615e39c306000a31a) was verified by direct HTTP fetch to resolve to the MFA 'General Information' overview page (visa exemption/VOA/health-certificate overview), not a Non-B-specific page. Replaced with MFA's dedicated 'Non-Immigrant Visa "B"' page (title confirmed via fetch), which explicitly covers Category B (business/work), confirms the THB 2,000 single-entry/3-month and THB 5,000 multiple-entry/1-year fee structure (USD 80 at Thai Embassy Washington DC for single-entry, matching the the fee shown already recorded here), and also documents the related Business-Approved ('B-A') and Investment and Business ('IB') sub-categories - the same page already correctly used as official_url for this dataset's separate 'Non-Immigrant IB Visa' entry.
