Visas for business trips to Thailand

The Business Visa Thailand is issued by the Thai immigration authorities under the name Non-Immigrant-B Visa. There are two sub-categories of business visas for professional stays.

Type M

multiple entries, up to 90 days stay per entry

This visa category is suitable for business people who travel to Thailand several times a year on behalf of a sending company - e.g. from Germany. Employment with a Thai employer, i.e. gainful employment locally, is not permitted.

Type S

single entry, up to 90 days stay

The non-immigrant visa B/S is the right visa for travelers who are employed by a Thai company on a long-term basis. It is necessary to extend the visa on site. Only people who are already in Thailand and have proof of employment from a Thai employer can obtain a work visa Thailand with longer validity. It is generally not possible to apply for a residence permit for several months for work purposes from Germany or other countries.
