Any suggestions for a Long Term Visa internship working in agriculture science and/or medical cannabis ?

I am an American (West Coast) entrepreneur in the regenerative cannabis and Permaculture movements with a university science degree who turned into a soil biology nerd and studied Korean Natural Farming (KNF) for the last 20 years from a laboratory.

In Thailand (on and off) for almost a year now, traveling all around this great country and as an ecologist and agriculturalist, it's too perfect. I don't want to leave, much to learn.

Starting to think about creative ways to learn and share in return for a Long Term Visa.

Medical Cannabis (endocannabinoid system and the entourage effect) is one of my specialties.

There is obviously a market for it….

I have taken the time to research the modern “political scene” of Thailand specifically with regards to cannabis.

From what I can understand there is a strong desire for this plant to remain medicine and not to be abused in any way.

I agree and it would be a dream to be able to work with that blessed plant in this great country.

Farming, Soil Health and Agroforestry in Thailand would be amazing too.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your time

Hi all

Looking for some advice on what employment a 'farang' can undertake in Thailand.

Can someone with retail management experience (Area Manager, Regional manager etc) of 25 years get a similar role in one of the malls in say, Bangkok?

Or does this violate the Alien act? All I found online on the 'banned' list is 'Front shop sale'.

Cheers.

You have to pay attention to this one:

Cindy teaches at xyz school in Thailand.

Cindy is stuck in her home country because of covid.

Her visa & work permit will still be valid when she comes back.

Question:

If I want to hire her once she gets back as my child’s personal teacher/nanny, where she does not teach at xyz school anymore, how the hell does that work?

How to nanny type people get visas and work permits? I am a foreigner on a non B hiring a foreigner.

Does someone knows if it is true or not that if we have a work permit somewhere, we are allowed to work elsewhere (jobs not on the thai prohibited list)?

Hi I have been here in Thailand studying on an education visa. Now i am at the end of the course and i have been offered a job in Bangkok. The company has never hired a forgiener before and are asking me to help look into the options in how to best obtain a work visa. It will be managing/consultant role for a hospitality company that has 3 hotel/hostel properties in Bangkok. Can anyone give me advice on now to proceed or a contact that can help. The little research they already did seems to put it around 65k to do, is this about right, as i have no reference? Thanks

Hello! A friend of mine is an owner of a Thai company that employs online teachers. His Thai lawyer told him that he could legally employ foreigners who hold work permits with other companies. That is not what I've heard. Any comments, please? Thanks...

*SORRY FOR THE REALLY LONG POST about applying for Non Immigrant B visa in London*

I have quite a lot of questions if anyone could help me out at all, i'd be so grateful! I want to get this right first time...

So all the documents on the photo is what I'll need to bring to thai embassy in London, (I want to apply for the imm b visa for 1 year) but most of these documents have to be from the owner of the company I will be hopefully working for in thailand, his english isn't great so I want to make it as simple as possible for him to provide this information!

1. I understand that some of the documents must be signed by him (and affixed the seal of the company, what does this mean too?) Can I just ask him to email me these documents and I can print them off myself, or does he have to send them to me by post from thailand with his signature on, if so which ones does he need to sign?

2. I will hopefully be working at a bungalow/bar/restaurant business in Koh Phangan but I will be 18, can I still work at the bar? i know the drinking age is 20.. Also are there some jobs I will not be able to do as a farang? My highest level of education is a level 3 diploma is this also okay to be able to work at this kind of business? Apparently I will have to be hired as the manager to work for the company?

3. I will be 17 upon arrival for the first 5 days of being in Thailand, Is this okay and will I still be able to apply for a visa here in London while im 17?

4. I would also like to know, once I am in Thailand where can I apply for a work permit? (I will be in Koh Phangan)

5. I have read that the visa will cost £125 are there any other fees/costs?

6. I have also read that you need to show 20,000 Baht does this have to be in cash or can i show bank statement?

7. With the 1 year non immigrant b visa, will i have to leave the country every so often, what does this mean?

8. How do I find out if this company I want to work for can legally hire foreigners? I dont think he ever has before, not long term anyway

Is there any other important information I should know especially when applying for this kind of visa in London or any information about applying for a work permit when im there?

Thanks so much :)

Greetings everyone!

Context first:

I'm a native English speaking South African Teacher that has been in Thailand for close to a year and a half.

I have my commercial law degree. Work permit at my school sorted.

A friend of mine (Thai guy) has his own law company and would like me to assist with the translation and interpretations of applicable legal jargon. He is legally capable of providing me as a foreigner with a work permit.

My question:

Is it possible to have multiple work permits in multiple fields that have no direct bearing on each other? Thus 2 simultaneous work permits.?

Ps* I have done research and inquiries, however, as many fresh perspectives is always a smart thing to obtain, therefore, thank you in advance.

Kind regards,
