Non-Immigrant B Visa Assistance

All costs related to acquiring the Non-Immigrant B Visa will originally be the teacher’s responsibility. Most teachers will be able to obtain their Non-Immigrant B Visa at a Thai consulate or embassy in their home country prior to their departure. All other teachers may enter the Kingdom of Thailand on a free 30 day transit Visa, and obtain the Non-Immigrant B Visa in Laos (Malaysia for South Africans).   

Teachers who are unable to obtain the Visa prior to departure, who areattending the training/orientation course, will be assisted by Thai member(s) of MediaKids. staff during a 2-3 day trip to Laos to obtain a 90 day single entry Non-Immigrant B Visa. Average costs for this trip in previous years have ranged from 4500-6000 baht per teacher. (This includes all transportation, accommodation, Laos Visa, Thai Non-Immigrant B Visa). The estimated costs for the trip will be prepared and teachers must pay costs in advance. If the trip is completed under the estimated budget, the remaining monies will be returned to each teacher upon return to Bangkok. Teachers will be expected to follow the schedule and plan arranged by MediaKids. All travel and accommodation plans will be arranged and prepared by MediaKids.                       

Teachers arriving following the completion of the training/orientation course may not be accompanied by a member of the MediaKids staff in obtaining the Non-Immigrant B Visa in Laos. However, an information package will be provided, complete with Thai and English instructions. Also, teachers will be assisted and accompanied up until their departure at Bangkok’s Morchit bus station. All teachers must have a Non-Immigrant B Visa before they are able to begin teaching.
