kir Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 (edited) Hi, Holding a valid Non Imm "O" visa i've two questions. 1. Can I apply for a Work permit under this visa (given that all other requirements.paperwork is in order) 2. To work under the designation "Assistant Manager" for a registered tutorial school (note: teaching does not fall under my scope of work) is a degree still needed for a non-academic role? I've been told by my prospective employer's lawyer that i need a degree to take up ANY position in a registered school. However, i have been informed by friends under good authority (some already work in admin in schools)that an expat does not need any such qualification. Please advise. Thanks.

thai_narak Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Long time ago I have to submit all my credentials when my company applied for my work permit. Yes, you can get a work permit using your non-O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy1308 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 (edited) When my employer applied for a work permit on my behalf back in June/July, I was required to produce a record of my acadmeic achievements together with eveidence of my skills and work experience. This was for a non-teaching, managerial position I might add. I was led to believe at the time that this is pretty standard although I could be wrong about that. I guess it depends on who you deal with. I also add that I do not have a degree, but it didn't stop the Work Permit being issued.

To work under the designation "Assistant Manager" for a registered tutorial school (note: teaching does not fall under my scope of work) is a degree still needed for a non-academic role? Depends on the Labor Dept office. Some will allow no degree, other offices will require it. www.sunbeltasiagroup.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
