PHUKET:-- Phuket Immigration Deputy Chief Col Nareuwat Putthawiro today clarified that foreigners with multiple employers listed on their work permits need to satisfy the minimum income from the major employer only in order to qualify for a one-year extension to a permit to stay.

 

The confirmation follows questions sent to The Phuket News from readers after Phuket Immigration Chief Col Narong Chanaphaikul on Tuesday invited foreigners who are concerned about their visa status ahead of the July 31 amnesty expiring to visit his office and have their extensions to stay renewed, or even have their 90 day reports filed.

 

“The minimum income requirement [for a one-year permit to stay]] needs to be met only from one workplace, that of the major employer, not by every employer listed on the work permit,” Deputy Chief Col Nareuwat told The Phuket News today (July 10).

classic example of stupidity in 'top thai officials';

what he does NOT address is whether the sum from all employers can qualify; there have been posts here in the past where IO, lazy,inept,racist,...only consider a single employer

Erhmmm.. That is exactly what he clarifies/addresses here. He is saying that you must have that minimum income from one employer alone. It doesn't work to add them together. At least one of them has to be equal/greater than the minimum requirement regardless of what the others are.

Literally says only 1 employer must meet it. IE not every employer.

Does not say anything about the SUM of all employers.
