ahddub Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 If you have a non-imm O visa (not dependent upon an employer's sponsorship for the visa), can you apply for a Work Permit to teach English indpendently (self-employed)? If you get a Work Permit to work for an employer, can you modify the Work Permit to moonlight (without objection from your employer) as a tutor?

Sunbelt Asia Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 If you have a non-imm O visa (not dependent upon an employer's sponsorship for the visa), can you apply for a Work Permit to teach English indpendently (self-employed)?If you are American, it is possible. Otherwise you could obtain a work permit as well, if you are working for a natural person. (This natural person would be your employer.)If you get a Work Permit to work for an employer, can you modify the Work Permit to moonlight (without objection from your employer) as a tutor? No. You need to get the second job approved in your work permit. In most all cases, the first employer needs to sign off on it. www.sunbeltasiagroup.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are working for the natural person, you need a work permit. If you working for your own company, you need a work permit. The work permit would have both locations in your work permit. www.sunbeltasiagroup.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
