Popular Post kingstonkid Posted March 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2022 Until Thais are able to compete they will always be protected. That is the problem with ASEAN one of it's premise is that member countries will allow people to compete equally for jobs. As long jobs are protected people will think that they are safe and do not have to improve. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think from what I've read it is one of those things that is against the law but they turn a blind eye to it presumably because it promotes Thailand (mainly). They should be paying taxes as well ?

Of course they are. If a foreigner wants to work in the UK they need a work permit and to get a work permit they have to be skilled and, almost exactly like here: To qualify for a Skilled Worker visa, you must: - work for a UK employer that’s been approved by the Home Office - have a ‘certificate of sponsorship’ from your employer with information about the role you’ve been offered in the UK - do a job that’s on the list of eligible occupations -be paid a minimum salary - how much depends on the type of work you do And, guess what, hair dresser is not one of the eligible occupations in the UK either. Seriously what kind of reality do you live in when you think we are discriminated against for needing to be highly skilled in a specialist industry to be granted a work permit? It is normal.https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa Edited March 1, 2022 by josephbloggs 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
