wow I don't want to have to learn the hard way but honestly I don't think the thai people at this company understands I won't be able to do most the jobs they do on an everyday basis... I see the list of jobs I can't do as a foreigner
and it says front shop sale but I don't see waitressing, cleaning, cooking (with diploma) so I guess I would be able to do these jobs. And just one question I know I wont be allowed to be behind the bar serving customers/making drinks... but if I could, would I be allowed at 18 even if the drinking age is 20? just curious
That how it seems to work there a lot but I want to do it properly, I wouldn't want to risk chances of being fined or even getting deported that just seems like a nightmare I want to avoid. You've been so helpful though, hopefully I can make this work and finally work/live in Thailand like I have wanted for so long
Yeah it seems a bit too risky but I don't have a chef diploma, of course I am good at English and that could be helpful in a Thai business but If that were to be my only job I know once I get there It would be near impossible not to do other jobs while I'm there... jobs I can do as a foreigner obviously but I guess they look for just one job title rather than a list of little odd jobs I may be doing... It makes it more difficult because I plan to also live there too so my whole life would be at this place. I would be really happy just to stick to the bungalow side of things and not frontshop jobs like you said checking in/out but probably mainly online work for air bnb etc... I think it's very clear now that I would not be able to work in the restaurant/bar aspect however I spoke to a guy at Thai embassy in London online and he said I could do these jobs if I was hired as a manager so I'm not sure really, I'll talk to the employer and see what he says
One last question, for the 1 year non imm visa do you have to leave every 90 days, i thought it was longer for the 1 year visa? And do you literally go to Malaysia for a couple nights or something? I dont really understand that but anyway...
Ah okay that makes sense, thanks for your help I feel a lot more confident now already. Would you be able to answer any of my other questions from the post?
Okay so let's say I were to work in the bungalow side of things and the restaurant (e.g booking the bungalows/checking customers in and out, helping with English translating, waitressing, cooking, taking customers orders etc..) but not the bar/front shop, as it's all in the same place, what job title would it be? I guess it would be relatively broad but I wouldn't want to write just one thing and end up doing other jobs, like you said if i were to do anything that's not on the description I could be fined...
He has 4 Thai staff already and I have done an unbelievable amount of research, some things I am unsure on and cannot find online... As the employer isn't very good at English I wanted to make sure I fully understand first before asking him to do any of this. Thanks for your help though, I think I might go to Thai embassy and also ask some of these questions before applying for a visa.
Honestly, I'd take any job I can get working there but I'm not too sure what job titles I can actually do as a foreigner... I guess helping with booking the bungalows and helping on the air bnb front but also can be waitressing etc too I'm not sure if this is allowed but the business is so small it would be hard just to work with the bungalows and not the restaurant too if that makes sense
