Ngo Charity Visa

[Vampyros Lesbos]

I am Swedish i am retired but i am not 50 years of age.

I got retirement visa from Thai embassy in Sweden before 3 x 4 before

Then I got married got a marriage visa and now I am divorcing (thank you my Buddha)

I can get a part time / full time work from a big NGO but they have no office in Thailand I am there office so to speak. They have office in other countries but not in Thailand.

Can I get some kind of work permit or visa for this?

First of all I guess I need some kind of permit to this kind of work and second if I can not get a visa for it can I still ask permission to do the work?

I called 1111 and they said “we do not have NGO or Charity visa” meaning they have no idea what they are talking about.

I might be interested to take up NGO work for a while as well. Sorry, I don't know how to get a visa or work permit NGO, but obviously it must be possible since there are Christian priests from many European countries working here in Thailand.

Does anyone here know how to get this or know what person at Labor Department or Immigration to talk with who is knowledgeable about NGO visas?

More likely, they had no idea what you were talking about. But fortunately, there is ThaiVisa.

Information about the types of visa that are available for travel to Thailand can be found on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There is a link to it in the topic “Thai Immigration Laws, Regulations, Police Orders” pinned at the top of this forum.

To work in Thailand, you will need to enter Thailand on a non-B visa and then get a work permit from the Labour Department. For this, you would have to be an employee of a locally registered company or NGO, which you appear not be. This would seem to make it impossible for you to get a work permit. Perhaps Sunbelt will have some information on it.

The Immigration Bureau deals with extensions of stay and will come into play if and when you get your wok permit. Details about extensions of stay can be found in National Police Order 606/2549, a link to which you can also find in the aforementioned pinned topic.

Thanks Maestro!

Yes i know how to search in a forum and when i serach for NGO i get something about a girl in cambodia. Well anyway i know that post as well but as you told me they need a company here or a NGO here and they do not.

There must be 1000 of people working here from other countries with not a company registred as NGO.

There must be some person that you can talk to and and some kind of free pass some one is giving out some were. I need help finding it

[denethailand]

So if the NGO is registered, work permit and visa should be quite easy to get then, I assume.

Is it difficult to get an NGO registered in Thailand then? I know registering a limited company is a piece of cake, but does anyone know if it is very difficult, expensive, or time consuming to register an international NGO in Thailand?

I do not know how to do. I guess i am going to send an email to every law firm in Bangkok Post today to see what they say I am going to immigration on Thursday as well for a last try last time they did not know.
