ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi...A friend of mine (Danish Passport holder)have been offered a job in a danish company inside Thailand. He's got a Non Imm OA visa...The company makes the papers for a work permit...1. Will he have to go outside Thailand for the permit and 2. will he have to cancel the OA and have a OB visa instead, or will it be ok to keep the OA visa and a work permit?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A Danish passport holder on a Non-Imm OA visa can apply for a work permit in Thailand through their employer. There is no requirement to leave Thailand to obtain the work permit. However, it is crucial to check if the Non-Imm OA visa remains valid alongside the work permit or if a switch to a Non-Imm OB visa is necessary.
