Volunteering and Working - Visa and Work Permit Scenario

[stament]

I am posting for a friend.... 555 where have we heard that one before!

 

He is currently on a voluntary visa and is teaching voluntarily for a foundation - unpaid. He also has a work permit for this organisation. Now, he has been offered some part-time work for a school which will be paid. He will obviously, need to secure a separate work permit since they are specific to the workplace. However, what about his visa? If, as I suspect he must change it to a working visa, will he still be authorised to continue working for the foundation as an unpaid volunteer? Surely, he won't need two visas!

 

Thanks in advance.

He cannot have two visas. 

What does he currently have.

 

Very old thread touching on couple of points..

The employer will have to agree that he also volunteers at another school as for a second employer the agreement of the first employer is required..

Note that for volunteering no teaching license is required. For a paid job he will need a teaching license or waiver for working at a regular school.  He should inquire if the work at the new school requires a teaching license. (Do not take the word of the school itself).

He currently has a voluntary visa and work permit for that volunteer visa.

Thanks for sharing but my friend's circumstances aren't the same which is why I started a new thread. It's not an additional paid job. The existing one is voluntary supported by a volunteer's visa and work permit. He also, wants to take up a paid part-time role. I know two work permits arr required and that's not an issue, but I am unsure of the visa situation that is needed. I will go to immigration this week if nobody on here knows. Thanks for your reply.

Best plan.

Thinking immigration will want him to obtain a Non B to work at the uni job

I think so, logically to me that makes sense but will they still allow him to vounteer if he's on a working visa. This is THAILAND!!! The land of the illogical and confusion!

I am going to immigration on Monday so I will ask one of the English speaking volunteers.

I have removed an off topic post, about tax, so it does not deflect the topic. There are plenty of open topics discussing Thai tax, without including it here.

Currently have a volunteer visa - was my post not clear on that? The shared threads do not cover this specific circumstance as they are both paid positions not a mix of volunteer and paid.

 

I think it's going to be a question for the immigration volunteers on Monday.... I also want to know if he can change from a volunteer visa to a working visa within Thailand, I am guessing not.
