Hi,

I was approached yesterday and given a model agent's card and asked to contact someone for modeling. I'm not sure whether I will do this or not (or whether I even can..). My visa is a non-imm 'O', where employment is prohibited. Does that mean I cannot model? Or is modeling still allowed? (since it isn't full time, probably very little time a week).

Thanks

Do it - technically it's not allowed, but nobody could care less.

It's lots of fun, and lead to surprisingly good money. And lots of parties as well.

I have been doing that when i wasn't old and fat yet, and never had problem. Immigration officers always recognized me when i was on a visa run, and had a right laugh before stamping me in.

An agent will send you to castings, and if you get accepted, he will deal out the pay, and keep a percentage as a fee.

how much is the pay from your experience if i can ask?

i've got no idea how much a model would get here.

thanks for your reply

ive gotten these cards and offers a few times but they were always from men and it felt more like a proposal than a job offering

Agreed, not one will hunt you down for doing some modeling. And you get free drinks form time to time…

Good luck.

should i add that i'm male, and got given the card from a guy too?

and no, he wasn't gay. (not that i could tell from anyway )

maybe its for a gay porno video~~~~

good luck..

employment is not prohibited under a Non-immigrant O visa. You can receive a work permit the same as a non-B

the visa stamp in my passport clearly states in capital letters "EMPLOYMENT PROHIBITED"

So you already know the answer to your question then.

well people here state i can do some modeling

just wondering - how would the police even find out that i had a job? do agencies here pay by cash in hand directly or bank?

jesus dude could you be anymore of a little sissy?

NO the police arent going to organize an elaborate international sting operation to arrest and cancel your visa because you showed up at a cocktail as eye candy for the thai hiso gay community

Won't it give you away when your face is splashed over the back of the a bus, or in some magazine?

In Thailand you don't have to play by the rules - many people don't, but if you value your life here, is it worth it?

The question was probably just a ruse to advertise the fact that someone thinks he's model material.
