cyberholz Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) I mean not real work with a corporate contract or so. Doing freelance work, writing and such. Asking myself, holder of PR, if I should skip the yearly hassle of renewing the Work Permit. Anyone in the same situation? Your thoughts?

Tatsujin Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 You have permanent residency already or thinking of trying to get it? My understanding is that it's almost impossible to get now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsujin Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Oh, to add, if you do have PR, then there is no need for a WP, you have the same rights and priveleges as any Thai would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Actually PR does not provide full rights of a Thai; or anything near it. Only citizenship provides that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberholz Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Sorry Tatsujin, I meant holder of PR, not PM... Yes, I got residency, but even with that as a foreigner you still need a work permit, certain things though are just easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I did get caught checking the inventory of a hotel I bought. I was told I needed a work permit, but got one the next day. I did have PR then.

Totally incorrect, you still need a Work Permit even if you have Permanent Residence. Only if you go to the next step and acquire Thai Citizenship do you have full rights as a Thai and no need for a Work Permit. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
