Hi everyone, can anyone tell me if it's possible to work in Bangkok with a student visa? And if I need to inform immigration? Thanks so much for your replies🙏

Answer summary

It's not permissible to work in Bangkok with a student visa, as education visas are generally restricted from allowing employment. You cannot obtain a work permit while on a student visa unless the work is part of an approved university internship.

You can't work without a work permit and you can't get a work permit on a student visa. So the answer is no.

Education visas/extensions are work restricted. You are not eligible for a work permit on an education visa unless it is part of an internship on an approved university curriculum.
