Working Of Aliens Act Of 2008

[oompie69 408]

Section 4 (Sub-paragraph 6 ) stipulates that an Alien (Non-Thai National ) engaged in the Education field is exempt from the requirement of having to get a Work Permit to work legally in Thailand.

Anyone know if this law has been amended in any way since then or are there other laws that override this Executive decision ?

Any information would be appreciated

No it hasn't.

or are there other laws that override this Executive decision ?

No there isn't.

The law is quite clearly laid out.

Though the Thai officials don't want to abide by it, so don't.

Hope that helps.

If this law is not applicable to the occupation of teacher which Act of Parliament or which Royal Decree or which Amendment has been passed into law to exclude teachers from this exemption?

Sorry if I appear stupid but I cannot find any reference to the exclusion of those employed as teachers in Thailand in The act.

Incorrect.

There is nothing in there that backs up your statement.

This has been discussed before. If you read the item referenced carefully, you will find the following:

Section 4, Part 6:
'(6) as a person who performs duties or mission for the benefit of
education, culture, dft, sports or other activities as may be prescribed by the Royal
Decree;'

This is NOT referring to a common garden-variety working teacher. This is referring to a person with a special commission directly from the government who is regarded as a kind of consultant. There are a few of them around, including on Thaivisa. But this is by no means an 'out' for getting a work permit to work legally as a teacher- unless, of course, you have that special visa status. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, you don't have it.

Where does the act state that?

I presume that officials and ministries demand teachers need them, but where is it stated? in the act it clearly says that they are exempt if they 'are performing duties for the benefit of education'. A garden-variety working teacher is clearly doing that, in a legal and official sense.

@oompie69 and @Almera, I'm getting curious why you both are disputing the fact that foreign teachers need a work permit. Care to share?

I just read the act as posted in the OP and it clearly states they don't.

Interesting.

But then, Thailand is always interesting.

Edit:

Why are you posting false statements such as Post 7? I'm curious.

Are you currently a teacher in Thailand, Almera or do you want to be one?
