Asking for another “teacher”

She has moved from one school to another. However each school is now k with her staying on the same work permit and visa.

Is this illegal?

Can she change WP and visa to the other school without leaving Thailand?

Basically what’s her options if what she is doing is illegal?

Thanks
Answer summary
The user inquires about the legality of a teacher retaining her work permit and visa after moving to a new school in Thailand. The community response indicates that it is legal to have multiple working places if permitted by the primary employer. The primary employer must add the new school as a secondary location on the work permit. If she wishes to change primary employers, she must address her visa and work permit situations through the relevant local immigration offices.

Regarding a work permit, WP can have multiple working places legally as long as the primary employer allows.

She needs to have her primary employer add the new school as the second working place to her work permit.

If she can change primary employer, visa/extension and work permit belong to them, is between those two employers and the local immigration offices.

Unfortunately, a further question about work permits, not visas or extensions, is out of the scope of this group.
