jst Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 hey guys. i got this flyer the other day. it said,"volunteer work permit available. if you don't mind volunteering 6 hours a week, you can live in Thailand free of charge and hassle. call 0853881577." i figure it is something worth checking out. the laws are changing and staying in this great land is getting harder to do. this may help someone, i hope. let me know what happens. take care.

Lite Beer Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 You would still need a Visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzieBruce Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 The visa i am happy to obtain from Brisbane Australia. So if I can apply for a volunteer permit rather applying for a work permit then I would like as much information as possible Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkangorito Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I do believe that "volunteers" are covered under the "Non-O" visa. When I first started working for my current employer (a government institution), I was issued a "Non-O" visa because I was volunteering my services in exchange for accommodation. When my employer sorted out my working contract & pay details, I went to immigration & was told that I did not need to change to a "Non-B" visa. As a result, I didn't need to leave the country in order to get a visa that allowed me to work. I have been working under a "Non-O" visa, with work permit, for three years & have never left the country. I am not married or retired (I'm 48) nor do I have any money in any Thai bank.

OzzieBruce Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 So is there such a "Flyer"or is it B/s I had hoped that is may have been something new happening to assist volunteers to help the people of Thailand maybe or maybe not I think I will give the guy a call tomorrow and find out what the story is Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkangorito Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) You may like to check out this link; http://thailaws.com/law/t_laws/tlaw0366.pdf You DO need a "work permit" for volunteer work. Actually, the whole site is useful; http://www.thailaws.com/index_thai_laws.htm Edited November 28, 2009 by elkangorito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a work permit on a B or O (except retirement). Nothing unusual about it. A regular occurence at our business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 A Google search for that Thai mobile phone number cited in the OP brings up a link to a web page of Pattaya Trader with five advertisements by InfinityWorld.org for electronic items and Olympic merchandise, signed with the email name jsimonst. The link to the mentioned website does not seem to work. jst, are you by any chance the person who placed those advertisements in the Pattaya Trader? Topic closed for the time being, as the phone number given in the OP appears to be spurious. -- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
