Tobias:

How does Amsterdam (Thai embassy ?) "insist" that you need a Type-B visa ?
E.g.: what exactly did they tell you ? Just the usual "if you do
business you need a busienss visa" that Jake mentioned ?

Maybe fill out the form on:

https://www.businesseventsthailand.com/about-us/contact-us/

and tell them you want to attend a conference in thailand and
your embassy is giving you answers that are different from what
TCEb writes in its web page:

The consulate in Amsterdam insists that I need a Type-B visa, and requests a full range of documents about TU Delft (full financial report of the last year, overview of employees etc., signed and sealed by the executive board of TU Delft, including copies of their passports). In addition, from the company that is employing me in Thailand (I presume that this means THNic), they also want a copy of the passport of the person signing the LOI in addition to the LOI, signed and sealed financial reports of the current year, official registration, list of employees etc.
