noodleslayer Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I wanted to know how it works for people living in Thailand on the Non-O visa based on marriage. If I am living in Thailand on the Non-O visa and apply for an English teaching job, do I have to switch to a Non-B working visa or can I stay on my Non-O marriage visa? Or would I be forced to switch to Non-B when I get accepted to the job? @ubonjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 You can get a work permit and work with a non-o visa or extension of stay based upon marriage. Some schools may try to push you to change to a extension based upon teaching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donmuang37 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Adding to what UbonJoe said, I refused to change to a Non-Imm B when my school pushed me because I would have to leave the country if I stopped teaching. I'm 84, didn't renew my work permit and retired earlier this month. So glad I didn't get a Non B because I had shoulder surgery, my right arm is in a sling and I can't travel until December!!

Is it hard to get employed at 84? I see on ajarn.com a lot of jobs require less than 60 years old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwebb8825 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 only reason I can think of that a school would push for you to change is they can do a WP for a Non-B by messenger. Last WP I had on my Non-O extension required my wife to come and we needed our marriage cert. Seems the labor dept. sees working on a Non-O as a way to get around an immigration check.
