Guardian visa

[diwata]

I hope someone here can provide information about guardian visa in Thaialnd. My question is, those guardian visa holder, are they allowed to work in Thailand as consultant, freelancer or kind of work at home job? Is there any law, articles whatsover that says working in thailand with guardian visa is prohibited? Can a company legally hires a short term consultant with guardian visa? Really asppreciate your help. I tried to google this for sometimes now but I can't find such information on the internet. Thanks in advance.

What do you mean with a guardian visa? Being the guardian of a Thai national minor you are allowed to work. Otherwise normally work is not permitted and you would need to change your status and possibly go abroad for a new visa. (non-B)

I mean Guardian visa of non-Thai with non-thai child studying in Thailand

No work allowed as far as i know.

 

If you want to work you should get a non-B visa after having applied for a work permit.

The problem would be getting the work permit. There are many work permit offices that would not accept the application with that type of extension (it is not a visa).

Thanks Mario. I really tried to find a legal document(s) that says it is prohibited. For example, can a foreigner with guardian visa allowed to accept part time job (two months duration work at home for example) for a company that is located abroad or in Thailand?

Any work with any type of visa or extension requries a work permit.

Working online for a non Thai company at your home for example is a grey area. Working for a Thai company would require a work permit.
