Work Permit on Non O Visa

[Guffman]

I would just like to ask if it's possible to get a work permit on a non O visa based on dependent child. I've never heard of anyone doing this, so I'm guessing it's not, but would just like to know for sure. The reason is I've been offered a job, but of course the paperwork will take some time and I need a new visa this week. Would rather not go to Laos again to change to a non B in a couple of weeks.

I've done it both on marriage and child dependancy, with visa and extension

You get a work permit and work with a non-o visa or extension of stay based upon being the parent of a Thai.

Be sure a copy or your child's birth certificate is included when the work permit application is done.

Requirement for WP non O or non B.

Don't let the company tell you Immigration says non B.

It's got nothing to do with Imm'.

WP comes from the Labour office.

Ask/tell the company to deal with them. Keep your O and if the job doesn't work out you still keep your visa or extension till it expires.

Thanks. That makes my life much easier
