Can I work in Thailand with a DTVisa for cooking?

@John *********

Well my experience and that of a large company with 50 years of employing foreigners would say otherwise. Do you have direct experience?

@Greg *******

like I said it depends if they are eligible to apply. That includes having the correct paperwork to apply. The paperwork supplied by the company can be pretty extensive to apply inside Thailand so many prefer to supply the reduced paperwork required to apply outside Thailand

@John *********

Of course we had the correct paperwork. It was a multi-billion USD BOI company who provided the paperwork we flew to Singapore with to get the B Visa. It was then extended to 2 years at Chimichurri along with a 2 year WP. This company has been providing the paperwork for 50 years. I think they know a tad more than you do about the required paperwork as they apply for a number each year. Have you ever done it yourself ie applied for a B and had a Thai WP?

@Greg *******

please reread what I wrote above. I don't care how big your company is, the reason you had to go to Singapore for your Non-B is that your company was either unwilling or unable to supply the much greater amount of paperwork required to get a Non-B visa inside Thailand. That doesn't mean you can't get one inside Thailand which you can do if you meet the criteria.

@John *********

Aye mate - you are correct and multi-billion dollar companies are wrong. It is illuminating that you have no direct experience and are relying on hearsay. Have you ever worked in Thailand legally? Do you even live in Thailand?

@Greg *******

Are you always so defensive in your replies? Maybe go have a beer and chill out..

@Robert **********

No. I do not like seeing wrong information posted. It may cause people to lose out. Why don't you keep your nose out unless you have anything substantive to add. What information do you have regarding obtaining the B Visa in order to get a WP?
