Work & Marriage ...

[wonny+]

Hello

how does everybody's new yr go??

I wonder if anyone can tell me ... In the next few yrs, If my bf(24 yr old, dutch) have to get a work permit before he can get married to a thai gal? or doesn't have to? Cose i heard the new rules say... you got to have 400,000 bth in bank acct, and also a salary of at least 40000 bth/month ...

My bf wants to come here and find a job, but if finally working direct didn't work, could we just get married, and get a non-im 'o' visa to look for a job? possible? or...what are the requirements??

thank you

Happy new Year!

No, he doesnt need a WP to get married, but if he want the 1 year visa based on your marriage, he have to put 400000 in the bank as of July 2004.

If he can meet thoose aquirements he doesnt have to show a monthly income at all as I understand it. only if lets say he only has 300000 in the bank, then a combination of funds and a certified proof of income is required.

Hope it helps,

Andy

AFTER you are married he can easily stay in Thailand on an O visa if he can open that bank account in Thailand. If he cannot, the best he can do is to get a multiple entry non-immigrant O visa and leave the country every 90 days. He can get a job and work permit in an O visa.

wonny, after he arrives he CANNOT do any housework, cleaning, taking out

garbage, painting, washing the buffalo etc, He will need a work permit.

You will have to do all the work.

HaHaHaHa! I like it. That's why I got myself set up in a nice little no-hands restaurant / massage parlour next to this charming little lake, for the duration of my visit. After all, work is for those who don't know how to fish......

Hey, Plachon, how do..

Regards this Pisces pastime you've developed out there on the lake, what you catching? Jellyfish?

But, seriously - how did you get hold of your little restaurant/massage concern, I think I need one of those myself?

Is it true that you can get a work permit on a marriage visa? I heard that you couldn't work on an 'O' visa at all?

Does the fact that you have a marriage visa make it any easier for you to work at all?

How would you have a "NO HANDS" massage parlor?

Yes you can get a Work Permit on a Marriage O. However, being married on an O does not assist you getting a job in any way.

However, being married on an O does not assist you getting a job in any way.

But the lady to who you are married may find incentives for you to look a little harder.

Even a lot harder Lop...and at her fingertips she's got both incentives and disincentives to help you along the way... I am against mixed marriages....men and women

[Pink Mist]

which combination do you prefer Doc?

[dr_Pat_Pong]

Like you Bronco, I'd go for the nocturnal incentives ( weekends and dawnbuster's excepted ) The disincentives include night starvation....get a job or get on a years sick pay with morning options the norm.
