Hello, Iā€™d like some advice:

I have a Non O spouse visa married to my Thai husband. I would like to work for a school in Phayao.

1) Am I able to apply for a work permit based on this visa or

must I convert the Non O to a Non B visa?

2) And if I need to apply for a Non B, can I apply in Bangkok or must I exit Thailand and apply in another country.

Thank you.

Dear all,

My non-B visa and workpermit expires on the same day in June, I'm moving to different province from Bangkok and my new company ( school ) is preparing papers for workpermit as well as non-B visa.

What are the process, specially for transferring workpermit, in my opinion, first step is to transfer the workpermit ( there's something about cancelling and reapplying on a same day which I am not very familiar with).

Once it's done on a same day the visa stays same and safe till June, is that right?

Which makes me think I should tell my new company to do the workpermit process ASAP.

Please advise

Hello all. Quick and surely easy question.

I am starting work next month in BKK for an American company. The American HR folks are telling me that once my visa is converted to Non B ā€œwork visaā€ I only require that and an invitation letter from our Thai counterparts to legally work.

This sounds wrong to me and I think I still need a work permit in addition to a ā€œwork visaā€.

Whoā€™s right?

Thanks!

From a desperate parent . . . Sorry to burden members here, as I'm sure everyone is dealing with their own hardships, but I'm at my wit's end and need some guidance. I'm a single dad here on Phuket, and have been for 6 years. In those six years, I was GM for a relatively successful tourism-based business (we arranged charters, team-buildings and weddings). Sadly, the consequences of the pandemic caused the business to slowly fail and my employment to be terminated 2 months ago. According to Thai labour law, I'm due severance and I attempted to negotiate a settlement rather than dragging matters through courts or arbitration. Long story - short: they are only willing to pay about 25% of what is actually owed and only when the company's assets are eventually sold. The main issue is, my savings have almost run out and I am really struggling to make ends meet. I certainly can't afford a new visa, nor is there any work available here. I can't even afford a flight back to my own country (I've contacted my embassy, with nothing but a 'sorry, you're on your own - good luck' response). I have a wonderful 12-year-old boy and I just need him to be safe and well. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions, please?

Thanks.

Hi guys just found out the hard way that if someone has any details on your UK passport they can cancel it without your knowledge. Therefore UK passport holders you are exposed when working in thailand your employer can screw you at any point by cancelling your PASSPORT. Becareful on who you work for as its perfectly legal for them to call Her majestys passport office and cancel your passport acting like you. Thank you England. I also had a chat with the operator at the HMPO he said there is nothing the UK Gov can do to help you and told me that their job is to only cancel passports. Please fellow Brits this is not a scam its reality and it can happen to you watch your backs as the guy who screwed me was a Brit.

I need a quick info guys. Can a foreign national work (not teaching) in Thailand legally without holding a bachelor degree? I mean if the person has enough skill and experiences then can he or she get a work permit without a degree?
