Hi team, my 19 yr old son has been offered a job as a dive instructor in Thailand. He's a UK citizen and was born in the UK, and is currently living in then UK. Hes not been to Thailand yet and we dont have family there, he just fancied teaching people to dive there. I'm really confused as to whether he can take this job or not as I can't work out whether he can get a long term visa to allow him to work there.
Can anyone give me some advice on this, or point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!
TLDR : Answer Summary
A UK citizen wishing to work as a dive instructor in Thailand needs to apply for a Non-B visa and obtain a work permit before traveling. The employer in Thailand must provide necessary paperwork to facilitate these applications at a Thai embassy in the UK. Working on a tourist visa or without proper documentation is illegal and could result in penalties.
