Jobs For Fillipinos

[Shoeboat]

If a guy got a job in Thailand and missed is Fillipina wife, could she legaly stay with him, could she find work? I read somewhere that Thai's were employing Fillipino teachers as they were more cheaper and reliable than farangs.

there are a lot of filipino english teachers in Thailand as 20,000 baht a month is a good wage for them.

My fiancee is a fully trained nursing assistant who can speak pretty much perfect English - would there be anything she can do there?

[correct]

no idea, but you also get a lot of filipino singers in bands in bars, can she sing?

If the man employed in Thailand has an extension of stay, for example based on his employment, his wife can apply for an extension of stay as his dependent and will be granted an extension for the same period as her husband. If she did not enter Thailand on a non-O visa, she has to apply at Immigration first for a change of visa status to non-O.

This non-O status with extension will entitle the wife to apply for a work permit, if she wishes to do so.

She can sing, but she's not a singer - surely though she'd have to already be part of an existing band, I can't see there being many Fillipno bands in Thailand in need of a singer. I only know of one as it is, that band that do the Samui circuit.

How about teaching kindergarten? She's great with kids and has enough nursing qualifications to be a nanny.
