Can I go to Thailand as a tourist and then look for a job? |
Travel Info will the company entertain me even if im just a tourist? Travel Tips it's not easy getting a working permit to work in Thailand. Thailand will not let foreigners do work that Thai people can do. Unless you have an international company that will hire you and transfer you to Thailand or you are qualified to be a English Teacher here. Others Yes you can, but without a working visa it will be almost pointless. You can only stay up to 30 days as a tourist, thereafter you have to get a 60 day minimum working visa. Yes you can but as above guys answered it is very tough to get a work permit/visa. Job hunting in Thailand is the same as any other country, it depends on what qualification/skill you have. As a tourist, you will have 30 days permitted stay. If you can find your job within 30 days, you have to stay out the country to get visa at Thai consulate general. A brief note from old timer (me), Thailand is a place to spend money not to earn because price is very cheap as well as salary. Following the September 2006 military coup in Thailand, entry, stay and employment rules for foreign nationals are being enforced rather strictly by immigration authorities in the kingdom. You can look for a job but ensure that the employer offers you a work permit. Nowadays, work permits are rather hard to find due to a large number of illegal immigrants from various Asian countries- India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and the Philippines, who have flocked there for work. A work permit allows you to work only for that particular company and foreign workers are not allowed to switch jobs. Pay in Thailand is also not exactly what you might expect. travel writer/ lived in Thailand You sure can go as a tourist but working without a work permit will be difficult. No one will hire you. So if you want to work, you need to find employment first and have the company help you in the work permit application, otherwise you will face problem getting a permit yourself. There's a Tourist Radio Station in Pattaya that hires tourists/foreigners occasionally. Check out: http://www.freewebs.com/pattayabayradio/... Email: pattaya_fm103@yahoo.co.th |
