Can I obtain multiple work permits with a Non-O visa in Thailand if both employers agree?

Does anyone know if you can get more than 1 work permits (given that both employers agree) if you are with a Non-O visa?

(I will be coming to Thailand shortly with a Non - O visa and I’d like to eventually find a job and I’m used to work 2-3 different jobs)

Is it possible to do so in Thailand? Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The possibility of obtaining multiple work permits with a Non-O visa in Thailand is generally not feasible. Users pointed out that the Non-O visa may not permit work at all, depending on the basis of application. While subsequent employers can technically be added to a single work permit, obtaining multiple permits from different employers while on a Non-O visa appears to be restricted.

As OP is on a visa/extension that is NOT eligible to hold a work permit, we are done. Good luck to the OP on planning her future.

You might not be able to get a Work Permit using the Non Immigrant O visa, it all depends on what basis you applied for this visa.

It would be based on “stay with the family” since my kids will be on an ED visa, so from what I gather below, it could work 🙂

Subsequent employers can be added to a work permit, no need for separate ones
