Hi guys, 

I'm on Non-O (Thai wife) Visa. Can a "Company X" issue a Work Permit for me without changing my current visa ?

I am hearing mixed answers, What do you know  about this ?

Any advice is highly appreciated

Thanks in advance 🙏

Answer summary

The user on a Non-O Visa (Thai wife) inquired if a company could issue a work permit without changing their current visa. Answers from the community confirmed that it is indeed possible to obtain a work permit on a Non-O visa, as the labor department is responsible for issuing work permits rather than the company itself. Multiple commenters indicated that there should be no issue in securing a work permit under these circumstances.

Yes you are allowed to work on that visa/extension. Remember it is the Labour department who issues work permits, not the company.
