Is this possible, if so how long does the process take?

 

Non 'O' based on marriage if it matters.

They are separate things.  You get a Work Permit from the Department of Labour.  You can do this with a non-Imm B visa, or an O visa or extension based on Marriage to a Thai.  Then you can change to an annual Extension of Stay, based on work, or just stick with your Marriage Extension.

Are you allowed to work while it's 'being processed' or must you wait until the process is complete?

 

Thanks.

You're not allowed to work legally until you have the WP.  How long the process takes depends a lot on whether you have all the right documentation.  In my experience we've got WPs for new employees within a week, but every case can be different.  The best thing would be to pay a visit to the Department of Labor or talk to your HR department (if you have one).

Well noted.

 

Thanks for the info.
