TLDR : Answer Summary
It is not possible to obtain a work permit while holding a retirement visa, as the retirement visa explicitly prohibits employment. To work in Thailand, one would need to secure a job, obtain necessary documents from the employer, and then apply for a Non-B (business) visa from a Thai consulate outside the country.
NON-O RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
Explore recent discussions by using the Non-O Retirement Visa tag in the search box at the top of the page.
It usually works like this; you get a job, get the documents from your employer, leave the country and BUY a Non-B <-( the B = business) visa from a thai consulate in another country.
