Prohibited Jobs for Foreigners in Thailand
(updated in 2018 - Please read the whole text to understand what is allowed or not)
A Foreigner can work in Thailand under certain conditions. He or she will normally need a valid visa (some visas exclude working, like a tourist visa) and a valid work permit (there are few exceptions). The main law related to Foreigners working in Thailand is called the
Aliens Working Act (B.E. 2521 or 1978) and was recently modified in
B.E. 2551 (2008). Foreigners are also restricted to have businesses in certain fields under the
Foreign Business Act of 1999.
A Ministerial regulation should be issued before 23 February 2010 to specify what Foreigners (aliens) can or can't do. This date is 2 years after the enforcement of the Working of Aliens Act of 2008.
However, until the new Ministerial regulation, there is a decree made in 1979 which prohibits Foreigners to work 39 occupations. Some of these prohibited jobs were modified or deleted. But at the moment, Foreigners (Aliens) are not permitted to work in the following positions:
- Labour work except labour work in fishing boats under the next category below.
