thaiwalker Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Does anyone know if one were to have a part-time English teaching job (weekends/evenings or less than 40 hrs a week) would a work visa/permit be granted? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not. Language institutes (which hire people fo evenings and weekends) are not, IMO, prone to grant work permits. They like the illegal crowd - they can pay them less. With that said, I am sure there are exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I think it's possible, although I don't know how the regulations are enforced now. I had a lady friend who worked part-time for a businessman. She did office work--editing letters, emails etc. She had a work permit for another job, but her boss wanted to make sure she was legal--he was involved in some legal actions with his business and didn't want further complications. He did get a work permit for her. The thing is, I don't know if they asked how many hours she worked and I don't know if he got a separate work permit or had his name added to her existing one. Her existing work permit was only for part-time work as well. Sorry, I can't check with her, she committed suicide a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
