Having a work permit in Thailand is actually
something to be proud of in a sense. It
means that you are legally allowed to work in the country and this allows you
to get a visa that means you are legally allowed to live in the country too. Usually the immigration visa is tied to the
work permit and both have to be renewed in 90 day intervals. This is no bad thing considering, without a work
permit in Thailand, you will always be classed as a tourist and so are not
legally allowed to work and can only stay in the country for the smallest
number of days only before you have to leave or get another tourist visa.
Doing this can be something of a hassle though as you
usually have to fly out of the country to get another tourist visa and this can
obviously cause a lot of disruption.
Having a work permit, it could be argued, is something of a security
blanket for those living in Thailand and those who want to have a life out
there. Whilst the Thai law does not
grant a foreigner the exact same rights as a Thai person having a work permit
and all your visas in order can help make life much more calmer without the
constant worry of visa overstay fees or the breakup of life through having to
move out of the country to the likes of Laos to get your visa renewed which can
take one day or up to several days depending on which border you go to.
But a work permit is also a sign that you have the skills to
pay the bills, so to speak, and to get the job done. A work permit in Thailand is only
issued to those with an education level minimum of a university degree to
prove that the candidate is qualified
but, what is more interesting, to prove that they have attained an educational
level to prove that they provide value to Thailand with these skills that they
have obtained. You have to understand that a university degree is still not
mandatory in many countries and so having achieved this can be seen as
something of a great feat and this is something that Thailand heralds and
recognises, hence the work permit educational requirements.
This means that those with a work permit in Thailand
are qualified for their job and therefore are granted the status to live in the
country also. However should the
candidate lose the job then the visa and work permit go along with it so you
really must be motivated and ensure that the job you are in is something you
see yourself doing for a few years at least otherwise the chaos caused by
losing it all or throwing it all away can be both detrimental for mental
reasons but also for psychological reasons too.
It pays then to get everything in order when it comes to living and
working in Thailand and having a work permit in Thailand is a great
foundation upon which to build upon this.
