danish30 Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Hi Bob, There are some details on the work permit process at Thaivisa.com. I would recomend that you secure the job first, then worry about your visa. Depending on where you get the job, they will most likely have a company lawyer to guide you through the visa process. Best preparation you can do is to arrive on a Non B visa and don't forget to bring all your degree papers, you will probably need to have them verified and translated as well.

gummigut Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 You need a non-immigrant B visa to obtain a work permit. If you are back in a western country, it's fairly easy to obtain a 1-year multiple entry non-immigrant B visa. Say you are coming over to look at business opportunities and list your background blah blah blah. Then when you get over here and get a job, they can put you through the paces to get a work permit. Best of luck <<burp>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Getting damned hard to get a 1 year multi-entry in SE Asia though. Ridiculous that it is easy to get one in the US and UK, but you can get no more than a 90 day one time non-immigrant in Malaysia, Laos or Cambodia. Doesn't seem to matter how many 1 year visas you have had before either. I know people who have never worked here, but have lived for years off of 1 year multi-entries from the west. TIT ...

Flashermac Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 p.s. A friend tells me he got a multi-entry non-B visa in the UK by finding the most remote consulate he could think of. (I won't name it here.) They told him he needed a letter to get it, but he didn't have it with him. (He had actually accepted a job with an NGO.) So the consul gave him a pen and paper and said he should write his own letter. He did -- and they gave him his multi-entry. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Thought you were already on a retirement visa? If so then no way to get a work permit. AND even PADI instrurtors, or volunteers even, need a work permit. You must obtain a Non Immigrant "B" visa, OUTSIDE the country, and that requires an invitation for a legitimate job, in writing, and you can now only get a single entry 90 day visa with it. If it is for your own company, then more paperwork is required.If so,come as a tourist and then contact Sunbelt Asia or other? reputable firm to guide you through the process. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 many of the scuba diving shops do not have enough quotas for all the farang diving masters/instructors they hire. visa runs are common for many people working in this industry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
