dazdaz Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 Does bar work require a work permit in Thailand for a farang? My initial thought is yes, in fact i'm about 99% sure the answer is yes, but thought i'd ask anyway. Are there any positions that farang's can do that does not require the arduous work permit situation and perhaps are more suitable to a farang? Yes, i'm aware of the UN ngo's, but their impossible to find positions. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 A work in a bar would require work permit, YES. The problem is that they will NOT approve a work permit, because that work can be don by a Thai. If you are investing in a big restaurant (not a bar), bringing in funds to the country, employ Thais, pay taxes, transfer knowledge to Thais, you can have one. For example a Girl Bar or Beer Bar would be impossible. All work in Thailand requires work permit, no exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayenram Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 All work in Thailand requires work permit, no exceptions. George, Does this also apply to voluntary work? I have a couple of friends who teach local kids English on a voluntary basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
