themechanic Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 If I were to get hired as a waiter in a restaurant, how would the process for getting a visa work? Do I need to leave Thailand to get the visa stamped? What happens in the 90 day reporting - do they ask for pay stubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beano2274 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 firstly you need to apply for a work permit, and get a receipt, with this you can get a Non Imm B visa (there is no such thing as a working Visa). However, I believe waitering jobs are not open to farangs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertty Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 You wont get hired to wait in an Indian restaurant. Heh. Why not? Because you are not allowed to jobs that Thai people can do. Don't you read the news... And if your fwiend gives you a piece of paper claiming to be a work permit paying you 50 baht a day, well he really isn't a fwiend.

paz Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Waiter/waitress is not listed. Not even cook is, but I was thinking it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 If waiters, waitresses and cooks were forbidden jobs for foreigners the foreign restaurants would be in bad shape. Your biggest problem of being hired, I think, is that there is a minimum salary requirement to obtain a work permit which varies from country to country. Most restaurants can hire locals to do the job at a lower salary unless it is a really high end restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So some people goes for a new non-imm. B multi-entry and has to border hop every 90 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
