Can I work in Thailand if I have Non-Immigrant Visa B without obtaining a work permit?
You cannot work legally in Thailand without a work permit. And a non immigrant “B” visa is required and should be obtained first to apply for a work permit. It is illegal to work in Thailand with out a valid visa and work permit.
There is a common misconception that the “B” visa allows you to work in Thailand. This is incorrect as stated as it only allows you to apply for a work permit while in Thailand. The “Business” visa is not a work visa as there is no such visa which allows you to work in Thailand.
This visa type allows you to get a work permit only. You can’t work on having only NON B visa without a valid work permit.
