LolaS Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Due to nature of my work. I will be employed at two institutions. One in BKK one in CMX. both are full time. one is the position of lecturer and another adjuct professor. What should I do? Get two visas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 It is not possible to have 2 visas or extensions of stay. You will need 2 work permits since you will be working in different provinces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 You need a visa and permission to stay that qualifies you to work. You need permission to work (work permit) for each job, which will require two separate work permits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DipStick Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Bit confusing this, two jobs that are both meant to be full time, but both locations are half the country away from each other, so how can they both be full time ? The only answer I can come up with is perhaps they are the same institution but different locations, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritsSikkink Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) How are you going to work fulltime on 2 jobs about 700 KM apart? Even if you work online, I don't think you would be able to make the hours. Please define your "fulltime" Edited April 21, 2018 by FritsSikkink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For your own sake have a discussion with the first employer and your second to become legal, can save you a lot of hassle later on as you are doing pretty high profile work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As started as researcher and then position change to university lecturer ( not to be confused with English teacher or lecturer) and HR told me that I dont need one.

In your original post you asked did you need two work permits, Then post 13 you accuse of being harassed, then go onto say there are some jobs where you don’t need a work permit ? So why ask the original question? People. Including myself asked how you could work two full time jobs 700 kms apart, you went very coy and defensive.
