Lacrimas Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Hello guys, I just got from the Thai embassy in my country a Non O spouse visa (3 months). What I find strange is that it says I'm not allowed to work with that visa. How is it possibly? 7 years ago my company applied for a work permit, I had a spouse visa at that time too and it got extended for work reasons. Am I missing something? Thank you for the assistance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was kind of confusing at first but it makes sense. So I can get a work permit without exiting the country and get a new visa right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Embassies print the "No Employment" note on all visas. No visa gives the right to work; you need a work permit. As long as the Labour office are happy that you have the right category of visa - which you have - they should issue the WP regardless of the note on the visa. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

problemfarang Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) with your NON-O you can apply to a work, then your work place will help you to get a Work Permit, with that work permit you can continue working and doing your 90 days go out from thailand and come back the same day. thats my life around 4-5 years now Never went to immigration. My company take my work permit and my passport once a year and renew my WP in 3 days. Edited November 22, 2019 by problemfarang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The company I was previously working for took care of all the paperwork, including 90 day reports and TM30, so I was a bit confused but you guys clarified everything. Love it when Thaivisa becomes this useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
