Hutch68 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hi does anyone know how many years you would go to jail for working in thailand without no work permit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Probably get away with just a court appearance and a fine. Unless you used a fake degree to get a job. People have done porridge for that......6 months plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickJ Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Not worth trying it. Also that's on the Protected Job List. If you owned a salon and we're the md I'm not sure about. Meaning you still could not work actually cutting hair. Edited August 17, 2016 by NickJ None Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwasaki Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 First offence 30,000 baht fine was the last two l heard of, you don't get deported if you have the correct means of stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch68 Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 So that's hairdressing out of the window. What about odd jobs around the home? Mowing the lawn, painting a room, varnishing a window, putting up a fence, installing bathroom items ie a sink a tap, bumguns stuff like that?

Cletus Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Plenty of english teachers working on a tourist visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do it yourself at your own house within reason. Putting up a fence might be stretching it a bit dependent upon where you are living. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMA_FARANG Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) I just returned from doing a 30 day extension ar CW to a 60 day single entry visa. i am now here offivially until 21 September 2016. As you exit from CW imigration there is a poster on the wall telling you in English rhat you mixt have a work prtmit ro work in Thailand. Just in case you didn'y alreadyknow that. It doesn't say what the penaltry is however if you get caught working without a work permit. Edited August 19, 2016 by IMA_FARANG typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
