Hi all, I have just been issued a non "0" dependency visa. Could somebody please be kind enough as to enlighten me with regards to the legality of working and obtaining a work permit on this visa.

Thank you kindly

It is exacly the same as if you had a B visa. It's a non immigrant visa and that is all that is required to get a work permit and work. You can even get an extension of stay based upon employemnt if you wanted to.

Of course, depends on the provice too !

We've had a couple of teachers refused a work permit in Phuket because they were on a none O visa. They were told they had to go out of the country and get a none B visa.

Best thing to do is ask at your local immigration office.

Immigration has nothing to do with work permits so there is no need to ask them. I suspect the problem was the school not knowing how to process the O visa and not wanting to ask.

If somebody questions getting a work permt with a non-o visa show them the visa stamp/sticker that states that it is a non immigrant visa. And then show them a copy of the work permit requirements from the Department of Employment (aka labor department).
