WORKING PERMIT AND VISA STATUS

[zianlim]

Hi Everyone!,

I hope someone could give me any idea about my case: I am currently working at XXX hotel with a valid working permit for 1 year and a visa to stay and perform my job here in the kingdom for year.

Now the XXY hotel pirate me to work at their company. XXX and XXY hotels are the same owner and my employer too, but not the same name of the hotel. Now I want to know if my working permit and visa is still valid if I accepted the job to XXY hotel. Or do I need to get a new Non B Visa and Working permit again?

I'm confused about it;

Please someone out there have any idea about this?

thanks and looking forward,

love yeah!

The easy way to solve the problem would be to add your new job to your existing work permit. It takes permission from your current employer to do it which should not be a problem.

It might be possible to change the work place on the work permit since it is same owner/employer.

Both can be done by submitting a WP6 that you can download here. http://wp.doe.go.th/wp/index.php/2013-07-25-03-44-08/form-english

Thanks Joe,

How about the valid visa in on my passport? I it still valid? if I change my work place? And the permission from my current employer how can be done by this?

thanks:)

If it is the same employer/company, it is only the work place that changes and that needs to be changed in the WP. That will not effect a visa or an extension of stay.

Make sure you keep the same position too, otherwise that needs to be changed too in the WP.

A letter from your present employer stating that it is ok for you to work at a second location, hotel, school is sufficient. If taxes are not paid on your income by your employer, you will not get an extension of stay. I worked as Resort Manager, Hotel Manager, employer must show 50,000 Baht a month

salary, and must pay taxes on said amount, whether it is the actual salary or not, if you want

extension, of Non B visa. My employer did not remit said taxes on my income, and was denied

extension, this was 5 years ago.

The name of the hotel is not the same and the management, However the owner/employer is the same. Well my position also is not the same as of the new company give me different position. Is this can be done by wp6 such as CHANGE JOB DESCRIPTION and CHANGE OF WORK PLACE?

It can be done with the WP6. It would be best if your employer was to contact the work permit office to find out the best way to do it.
