JRG23 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hello. I am 51, married to a Thai lady and for several years I have extended visas annually based on marriage. I am expecting to be offered a job soon by an international company, which has an office (and I presume a subsidiary) here in Bangkok. If I take the job, what visa requirements will I have? Can I easily change from Non-Imm O (based on marriage) to a work visa and work permit? Would I need to leave the country for a certain amout of time and apply for the visa in the UK or another country? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

jaiyenyen Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 No need to change your visa. Just apply for the work permit, which your company should help you with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Pretty sure you can get a work permit when you have an extension based on marriage to a Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtank Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Yep. You can get a work permit with your current Immigration status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot even apply for a work permit with a extension based upon retirement. If serious about working you would need to leave the country and enter with a tourist visa to apply for a work permit and then go out for a non-b visa to have it issued and start working.
