Hello everyone,

 

I wish to know if Thailand provides a Training Work Permit, as I heard that several countries has this permit.

 

It allows you to enter a country to work for 3-6 months (only once), this is something like an intern whereby the 3 months, if you are suitable for the job then the company will choose to hire you. So I want to know if Thailand has a similar visa such as this. If there is, can someone kindly point me to the right direction to find out more information about this.

 

Eg of such passes: http://www.mom.gov.sg/passes-and-permits/training-work-permit

 

Thank you.

 

        You might be surprised, but all the labor departments seem to have different laws. What works in Sisaket, doesn't work in most other provinces.

 

           The best would be to visit the local department of labor in the area you're planning to stay and you'll get all needed advice in a short period of time. ( Please take a Thai with a very good reputation and a big smile in your face with you )

 

       I know that there're work permits for short periods, but that might have changed by now.

 

Thailand does not issue work permits for training purposes.

If attending a university a internship is possible without a work permit if it is arranged through them. A non-ed visa can be obtained for it.

In reality there is only one law (or laws) for all of the country. They just have different local rules at different offices.

It is a bit of chain. There are laws that don't define all the procedures and requirements. Then there here are ministerial regulations that set the procedures and requirements based upon the law. But in the end it still gets down to what a local office will want.

 Joe, we're only 65 away from each other. I've worked in Ubon for almost four years and the difference between the two offices is unbelievable. Labor department in Ubon wants so see all and everything, while the Sisaket department seems to be way more relaxed.

                   I can't write certain details on an open forum, sorry.
