How easy or difficult it is for a spouse with Dependent visa to get that converted to working visa and work in Bangkok. Working for a large MNC. Wife qualified MBA - working in insurance industry.

Basic visa for work is non immigrant and that should be what she has so should be easy. But beware of some that say you need a "B" type as that is not true but probably they only have experience using that visa.

No need to change the visa (extension of stay based on being a dependent.) Just apply for the work permit.

Please note: Some companies will insist on the employee to change the extension of stay permit as they feel they can control them better with the employee needing a visa and work permit. ( The threat of having to leave Thailand in 7 days if they cxl it)

Thanks sir. So from what I understand it is not very complicated. I work for an MNC and am getting transferred to Bangkok. My wife works for a re-insurance company in singapore. I would like to know if there is chance of her getting a job in Bangkok. She does NOT speak thai and has experience of around 4yrs.

Thanks a ton for all the help.

Sachin,

The terminology may have got confused here.

If you and your wife are not Thai then you will have a Non-imm 'B' type visa and your wife will 'piggy back' on the back of that which is a little different from what I think was read that you are a non-thai and you have a Thai wife.

What does your wife do in re-insurance? languages, skills etc, will all depend on the openings available but they are quit limited.

A chance of her getting a job? The odds are not high but if she networks, she has a better chance.

My understandings were they are both Foreigners and why the wife needed a dependant visa.
