Can I work in Thailand?

How it works: The employer applies online (4 Thai staff per foreigner), then a Non-B visa; extending your stay wants about THB 50,000 a month, far above line-job pay.

Watch for: Massage, beauty, guiding, driving and clerical jobs are closed to foreigners; a tourist or Destination Thailand Visa does not allow work for a Thai business.

Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
