TyGrr Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) I have been told mixed things about getting a work permit when only holding a tourist Elite 20 year visa. Mostly strong no's with the execption of a lawyer who wants me to set up a company and can "100% get me the permit". This is a scam or acceptable? I can't find any information here. Thanks Edited September 27, 2018 by TyGrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 You cannot apply for a work permit if you a Thai Elite visa entry. It is not a non immigrant visa and that is required to apply for a work permit. From the Thai Elite site. https://www.thailandelite.com/faqs?locate=en 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elviajero Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 The lawyer may well have the connections to get you a legitimate work permit, however, immigration would have a problem if they discovered you were working (even with a work permit) without permission to stay issued on the back of a non-immigrant ‘B’ (maybe ‘O’) visa.
