kawaiimomo Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Hi everyone there, I was trying to apply for a job in Thailand and I was contacted by a foreign company. After many interviews, and after I clearly asked if they were want me to work for them without the proper work permit I was replied: If so, would you? So I think is my duty to report the Thai government about this company wanting to hire foreigners without the work permit and without paying taxes. Could anyone, please, provide some info on where to report about this $*&@? Thanks a lot and best regards :-) PS: Really sad that foreign companies do this as I already had an offer from a local Thai company willing to provide me with all the needed documents to do this legally, the proper way.

JimsKnight Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 You're going to report them for what? A verbal exchange during an interview?!! Unless they actually took you on, paid you money without a WP you're dreaming up delusions on this one. I think your heart's in the right place but you're being a bit over-dramatic. It's like someone discussing drink driving after a night out in the city. Would you report them for that?! Talk will not prove a thing and I think you'll probably end up in more trouble then they will. Oh, for the days when do-gooders like this were few and fare between in this fair land...

CharlieH Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Whatever you have to say is "hearsay" they could and probably would just deny that conversation ever took place. Mai pen rai , Move on and stop wasting your time. Good luck. Edited November 30, 2011 by CharlieH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWMcMurray Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Agree with others, as this is a non starter... there is zero chance they could run into trouble for asking you this question in an interview. Even if they did not deny it, they could just as easily say that it was an interview question designed to test applicant's ethics, in order to weed out any less than ethical applicants... As others have said, it is illegal to hire someone without going through the WP process, but it looks like they never got to that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me you asked the question and the interviewer was simply testing your ethics. Patrick Edited December 1, 2011 by p_brownstone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2274 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Lots of Thai companies do the same, you gonna report them too!!!!!! In fact you might find some foreign footballers here in Thailand, playing without Work Permits, are you gonna say something about that? Some probably do not even have the correct visa (Remember the Scottish footballer who reported this to the Scottish Sun), but this is Thailand. Just find someone willing to give you a work permit if you qualify for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExpatJ Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 If the OP does report the company there is a fair to good chance that a simple police check would turn up several employees without WPs- might be a worthwhile and easy fishing expedition for the police even with no evidence more than a report to them...

OriginalPoster Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) Perhaps it was just a test of your ethics. Could be. US company that I used to work for would often try to see if candidates were willing to reveal proprietary info of the previous employers. Often the interviewer would fish for such info even when the prior employers were in an entirely different line of business, and if the candidate started spilling the beans it was assumed that the he could not be trusted was was not safe to hire.
