AlexGolod Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Hi there. I have plans to go to phuket then to BKK with tourist visa. In BKK i wanna try to find a job as a software engineer. Are here anybody who have experience of looking a job staying in thailand with tourist visa, how companies will look at me if i will apply to jobs when i'm already in thailand with just toursit visa? I'm also interested which documents are required for workpermit? I don't have higher education, only college. And 10+ year of working experience. I heard in this case i have to proof somehow my work experience. If i gonna get reference letters from companies which information should be in these letters(period of time, salary, something else)? Should i prepare any other documents? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom in bangkok Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) If you get hired at a larger firm (generally the only ones willing to hire foreigners as far as I could see) they will sort it out for you since most of the documents needed comes from the actual company. I don't think it matters if you're already in Thailand when you're applying -- most of the interviews I did were on Skype anyway. The documents can be found online. I used this as a guide when applying: https://www.thaiembassy.com/thailand/work-permit-rules.php The real annoyance comes when you apply for your 1 year non-b extension. Christ, there was a huge stack of paperwork required for that. Oh, and you can also go through a company like Iglu to make the visa+work permit process much easier, but I think the cut they take from your income is too high.
