Mondy Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 If a Uni wants to hire me to teach 1-2 seminars a month am I stuck in no man's land? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepool Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) Best ask if the "uni" will provide the paperwork required for both the visa , any necessary extension and the work permit. Edited April 25, 2014 by thepool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 The rules are more flexible for getting a work permit as a teacher. The university should contact the work permit office for info. For a B visa or an extension of stay based upon teaching there is no minimum hours to get them in the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricklev Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Public university probably no problem, private university and immigration/work permit might get weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 A non-b is not a work permit so the hours worked in relation to the visa mean nothing. There is non minimum "hours" for a work permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondy Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Spoonman, I did not know if the sponsoring business for the visa needed to give a detailed job description. Since the work scheduled would b unconventional, I wondered if it would affect visa and/or permit. Thanks guys.

Mario2008 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 For an ED-visa there is minimum of 4 hours, I have heard there is the same minimum for volunteering. So that might be the case also for employment. One might get a work permit, but not necessarily an extension of stay from immigration based on employment (teaching). A visa is an other matter.

Mondy Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Thanks Mario. That might be an issue for the extension. If that is the case, I should not teach too large of a class if it will translate into too few hours/mo and might need to teach several classes that aren't quite full to make sure that the hours don't fall below that possible threshold.

Mario2008 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Yes, but don't forget to not only include the teaching hours but also the hours preparing the seminar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondy Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Ah, then my question is probably a moot one then. A tremendous amount of time goes into research, photos, Powerpoint presentation construction etc. A 10 hours weekend course is well over 50 hours. Thanks.

Arkady Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 If any Thai employer is willing to employ you, it is between you and the employer how many hours you have to work. Neither Immigration nor the Labour Ministry ever ask that question. A job is a job as far as they are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
