2nd job work permit, new one needed or add to existing

[new101]

I currently have WP through my own company based in one province and am thinking of starting working for a company in a different province however I don't want to loose the time I have invested getting close to PR application.

 

Do I need a second WP for the new company or can the new job and employer be added to my current permit?

 

Also I assume 2 lots of withholding tax would be needed, one from each company?

Not sure what might be needed now since the work permit rules were changed. There article in news saying if you have a work permit you can use it to work anywhere now but I have not seen anything official about it.

Before (or now?) you would of needed to apply for a work permit in the province where you other employer is located.

I suggest you check with the local work permit office to find out more about what is needed.

Yes you would have to pay taxes on your other job.

One option might be to setup the job as a contractor from you own company. That way it could be put in you existing work permit as a 2nd location for your current employment.

There was an interview a couple of weeks ago with the head of Labor department or whatever it is called, sorry I can't find it again. He stated quite clearly that with the new rules once you have a WP you can work in any capacity and province, you just need to notify them of the new employer. That sounded official enough to me.

It should be easy for the OP to ask at his local city office.

I think that was the article where the head of the Phuket office was interviewed.

What I consider office is a document from the Labor Ministry detailing the requirements.
