cshort64 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Good Day All I have a 21 y/o son, he is here on an Ed Visa going to shool for Hotel and Restaurant Management, he would like to get a part-time job or even full time while he is on school breaks and after school, in his educational discipline. Is this permitted when you have an Ed Visa? Thank You C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterestedObserver Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I don't believe the Labor Department will issue a work permit with a non-immigrant "ED" visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbelt Asia Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Your 21 years old son (currently hold Non-Immigrant “ED” Visa) who wish to undertake either a part time job or a full time (during semester break) or even after school. To be legally and eligible to work in any of the condition aforementioned, he would require to have a work permit. According to the Labor Department, a work permit shall be given to an applicant who has a Non-Immigrant “B” Visa or Non-Immigrant “O” (Based on Supporting to a Thai Citizen [i.e. marry to a Thai citizen]). In order for him to be able to apply for his work permit apart from being supported (employ)by a company (his employer), he would have to change his visa category from Non-Immigrant “ED” Visa to a Non-Immigrant “B” Visa. By the way, several years ago you could get a work permit with a ED visa but times change. [sunbelt][/sunbelt] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cshort64 Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 WOW, I am very sorry I missed this post. Thank you for replying and sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. The way I read this, my son can only get a Non-B visa, I am married to a Thai and have 3 other sons with my Thai wife, but I assume that my son cannot get an O-Visa because he is not married and is over 20 y/o, is that correct? Can a ED visa and Work Permit be allowed? Thank you C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 He doesn't qualify for an non-immigrant O or extension of stay. As stated, on an ED visa no work permit will be issued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 He can stay on ED visa and study. When/if a work permit job is found he can obtain a B visa allowing work so that would not be a major issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
