Can non-O dependent work legally?

Featured Replies

If someone is here on a non-O dependent visa (partner has B visa) can they work legally and obtain a work permit without having to change to a non-B visa? I suspect not since the annual extension of stay would be tied to the working partner's work permit, rather than their own work permit? Thanks!

With a work permit yes.

Requirement for a wp is a non-immigrant visa or extension of stay.

Thanks, but I feel like in practice employers prefer the worker to get a non-B. But good to know it's not a legal requirement.

If you change to a non B don't forget that it will be tied to your job. You finish work and your Non B will be cancelled and you will be given 7 days to leave Thailand. Then you can re-start the process to get another visa or extension of stay.

This gives you no time or makes it difficult to start any claims etc if you have been paid off etc wrongly.  That's why employers push for a non B.
