Is it very complicated to add a Work Permit to a Non o Marriage visa? I understand it is possible to do and I would not need a Non B Visa
Answer summary
Adding a Work Permit to a Non-O Marriage Visa in Thailand is possible and does not require a Non-B Visa. However, the complexity can vary depending on individual circumstances and documentation. Generally, applicants must provide supporting documents, including proof of relationship, financial stability, and potentially a medical checkup, to facilitate the process.

Not all that hard at all, you need a job and documentation from your employer to go to the ministry of labor and apply for the work permit

As Ellie said though, some employers just won't give you the support documents when you're on a non o visa/extension because they have no leverage over you, like they would if you were on a non B

Good point about leverage.. I don't want to get a Non B. I rather add the WP to my marriage visa. Not with my own company. Thank you

You need a job first then your employer will sort it.

You just need to have the marriage extension and a job or be employed by your officially registered Thai company with 2 Thai employees per work permit and of course hold a position that isn't on the prohibited occupations list.

Yes I know. He's talking about a marriage visa so he would be married and it would be his own company if this matter affected him.

You can get work permit based on thai child or thai wife visa. You employer just needs to give the usual paperwork.

It is not that complicated, but it is something you cannot do on your own. Your employer needs to prepare the documents and application. Whether they will do it on your Non-O depends on your contract with your employer. You need to talk with them first...
