I live here and have a work permit. You do not need a work permit for machine repair, thats a specialist task exempt from a work permit. My work permit is to perform and manage installation activities and even to train others, for this I have a work permit and can extend if if I wish for the whole year or longer so it is not short term. If there are on going projects with no local skilled persons t perform the tasks you can do longer than one year.

you dont need a wp to do short term visit business trip conference or lecture and the wp can be for 3 or 6 months also depending on your visa

see above reply

There are couple of things, you can work in Thailand for up to 15 days without a permit, for such things as fixing machines, also can use visa exempt for business meetings conferences etc but not actually work. To get WP obviously need a visa I have Non o based on marriage my friends all got Non b, some whlle here some from home country. We had to get invite letter from a distributor to support WP application. It is allowed for skillsets not available within Thailand.

lol not there, supposed to go to HCM in 2 weeks but see they stopping entries by plane. BK done

You can get a work permit on non o visa based on marriage from outside thailand or extension based on marriage obtained in Thailand. Currently I have 12 months non o based on marriage from savannakhet and have a work permit.

They checked mine last August and actually asked for original marriage cert this time, last time I just gave them a copy.

He says he is not married.
