oompie69 470 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 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 ALLIENS ACT WORKING PERMIT.pdf Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone know if this law has been amended in any way since then 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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Ijustwannateach 344 Posted March 24, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2013 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 ofeducation, culture, dft, sports or other activities as may be prescribed by the RoyalDecree;'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. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

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. Edited March 24, 2013 by Almera Link to post Share on other sites
aidenai 561 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 @oompie69 and @Almera, I'm getting curious why you both are disputing the fact that foreign teachers need a work permit. Care to share? Link to post Share on other sites
