garyinthailand Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Does anyone know if it's possible to do work of any kind when on retirement visa? I'm retired but active, and would like to be able to do volunteer teaching, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect many retirees are still doing a bit of volunteer work without any work permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h5kaf Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 The short answer is YES. You can get a work permit on any type of O or A or B visa. But DrPP is offering good advice that if you wish to work you must have a WPor face the prospect of BIG trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pchaweng Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I just posted a similar question. Am trying to find out if I can work online (so, I guess I'd be working outside of thailand through the Internet) while on a retirement visa in Thailand...(hoping the answer is yes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pchaweng Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Hi, don't know yet who will pay me. I am a US citizen, so my goal is to find a school in the US that will pay me for the teaching I will do into my US bank account (say University of Phoenix as an example).

A person married to a Thai can get a WP on the O classification visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are unlikely to get sprung, but nevertheless you are running a risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
