Hello,

I opened up an tour company and we sell all day tours and diving.

Unfortunately we are in a very quit area, but with in mind that that area is upcoming in tourism.

For the moment to get some income I would like to work with a good friend.

The easiest way I think is to set up a second office at his address for selling tours and diving in name of mine office.

Or add his office to my working permit.

Both options seems to be impossible,

Yesterday a police raid in the office and my working permit is according to the officer who checked only valid to sell bus tickets and airplanes.

Even when I go back to my main office I can never make up the money with selling bus tickets, the usual commission on a ticket is max 200 THB.

I would like to extend our business with diving (told by application but not in working permit) and the second location.

Can some one inform me if this is possible?

Asking the office of labour in this area gave all involved head aches.

Answer was I can only sell tickets, can not go diving ( I'm fully certified diving Instructor) can only work in own shop.

You pay 3.100 THB and send in papers.

What papers? Nobody can explain.

I'm sitting on an island and depending on information from mainland, If necessary I will take a few days leave and a ferry to sort it out.

Thanks

You can use Labour Dept form WP7 to add another work place/company/change job description, etc.

If you are selling diving then you will also need a TOT license (at a minimum just for your local area).

Work Permit cannot say 'teaching diving' as you would be asked to produce an education degree, but you can have a form of words that allows you to go diving and run dive courses.

One problem is that you then need papers from both companies to do anything and you can never remove the first job from your work permit, but you can change your job description easily.

Thanks for the info.

Will ask monday for WP 7 form.

We have all the company papers incl TAT license for diving.

For job descriptions I will find a alternative for Dive Instructor. Also thanks for that information.
