AndreasF Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) I apologize if this question was asked before, I did a detailed search and were not able to find an answer yet. My Korean fiancee is planning on working in a small private school in BKK. The school has 8 part time teachers (Thai) employed and is not registered as a company. If the school employs 4 Thai fulltime teacher would the school than be able to support my fiancee with a Non-B visa and be able to apply for a WP? Thank you very much Andreas Edited January 19, 2019 by AndreasF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overherebc Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 If it's not a registered company it can't support a WP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 As long as it’s a legitimate business and she is formally employed it should be possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the OP it has no full time employees, tax records for them, sounds like cash payments for casual work. So, not a legitimate registered company. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/once the school (business) is properly registered, and is formally employing at least 4 Thais, they should be able to get a WP for a foreign employee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as soon as the school has another 3 on the books ( making 4 as I said ) his wife could be employed. Until then I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
