I’ve just come back to Thailand with 30 days stamp and I’ve got a contract here. So my question is how do we do now with non b? Do we have to go out like Lao or something or it can be done inside the country and if so how long does it take?
Thanks in advance 😉

TLDR : Answer Summary
To obtain a Non-B visa while already in Thailand with a 30-day stamp, the process can be done within the country provided your employer prepares all the necessary paperwork. You will need at least 15 days remaining on your current stamp. This process may take longer than a month, so you might need to extend your visa exemption stamp in the meantime.
rather makes things easier for you than others. As I wrote above, people might have problems getting in-country Non-B after the Covid extension. But you have clearly another option currently.
, you are on visa-waiver so you are not eligible for a 30days tourism extension. Your choice would be a Covid extension, an extension based on embassy request, or Non-B visa directly.
Have your new employer sort documents for your visa within 10days
or
have them talk with the local immigration office to check if that IO allows you to apply for in-country Non-B after Covid extension.
If no for both, you need to leave the country again.
okay, same sense to Covid extension. Before, you could get in-country visas after Covid extensions. But it getting harder.

Since it can take more than a month for an employer to prepare the documentation, you will probably need to get the visa exemption stamp extension, and maybe even have to go on COVID extensions after that.
I think so (not sure though). Search the group, I remember this was discussed in a post in the past month or so.

It can be done in country, if your employer can get all the paperwork ready (a lot more than if you get outside the country), and you will need at least 15 days remaining of your current permission of stay.
