Situation

Person studying an education degree at a Thai university. In English. The person has an education visa. Can this person work as a teacher part time in Bangkok legally. Is it possible to get a work permit with an educational visa.

Thanks in advance.

Summary so far

A person studying for an education degree in Thailand on an education visa cannot legally work as a teacher part-time, as an ED visa does not allow for work permits. Some comments suggest that while it might be possible to work informally without being asked about a permit, this is not legal. Alternatives such as acquiring a Non-B visa were mentioned, which could allow for legal employment alongside school if specific requirements are met.

They could get a Non-B visa (there is no work visa) and a work permit BUT they would have to make above the threshold income for their country to get extensions on that visa, however if they did they could go to school IF they had any free time.

If the school wants to hire her legally (work permit etc) she could go to school on the non-B.

You can INTERN if it is part of your continued education but that's it.

In order to work you need a work permit and you can't hold a work permit on an ED visa.

Probably if the company is willing to do this sort of arrangement.

I think that person can work part time as a teacher because no one will come to ask him about his work permit.

I believe you can only hold 1 Visa at a time, however more senior members may correct me on this.
