Hi all,

thanks for all your replies, for useful information.

Do Immigration have anything to do with the work permit application or is just the Labour department, as previously mentioned I already have my Non O extension, so once I go to the work permit and complete the application, I assume we wait for the response and if they approve and issue a work permit is that it for 1 year or are there any following steps to take

We have discussed money, they have offered 15,000 baht per month and rising to 20,000 after a year, but have not discussed the contract as yet, we really need to see if I can get a work permit first

Hello again everyone,

If I was to obtain a work permit, then do I continue to do my Non O marriage visa every year as I have been, at Immigration, providing proof of 400,000 in the bank, or is there an alternative.

Also if I was to go under the 400,000 what then would be my best option, would I be able to obtain an extension in Savannakhet based on my marriage, I hear that you don't need to proof the money there and then still be able to get a work permit.

You need to get some forms from the labour office for both you and the school to fill in to apply for the WP. So yes, go there together with someone from the school and have them explain which documents exactly you will need.

You can apply for the nWP with your current visa entry and extension.

Hi Mario do you, or anyone else know where the labour office is in Ubon ratchathani or possibly know a website where I can find the closest one to me. Also what do they call the labour office in thai language.

Ok, thanks all for your help

Also how would a work permit affect my current visa, would I need to change my visa to get a work permit?

Yes, depending on the labor office and the exact kind of school they could still get you a work permit.

Will they have to go to the labour office before applying for the work permit?

Do you have a diploma in any subject, you do not need a degree, a diploma is sufficient and in any area of study, it is the native English speaking person they want, that is more important than the educational level in most cases. From a Canadian teacher here.

I have a NVQ level 1(National Vocational Qualification) in Painting and Decorating. I believe this is pretty much the equivalent of a diploma, depending on the training provider or college.

hello,

I'm Travis from the UK living in thailand, I've been asked by a private primary school to teach english, I told them that do not have a work permit, only a Non O marriage visa, they said they could get a work permit for me, they asked if I had a degree or any experience which I told them that I don't, they are still quite interested in me teaching there.

I have read on this forum that I would need a degree to get a work permit, or because this is a private school are they still able to get me a work permit even though I don't have a degree.
