I want to thank everyone for their answers. If anyone has anything to add, feel free to do so of course.

Hi, First post. Apologies if I break any rules. Please imagine the following situation. A foreigner in Thailand is offered a teaching job at a school, found through an agency. Unfortunately the foreigner will not manage to arrange their working permit and the associated visa before their expected starting date next week. Now both the school and the agency are telling the foreigner that they can start working at the school while their documents are still processing, which will take at least another month. The foreigner reckons that this is illegal and is hesitant, even though the agency insists that it is common practice. However, the foreigner needs a job. How should the foreigner proceed and why? Thanks for the insights.
