  • Answer:

    The graphic designers in Thailand are super good and will work for a fraction of what you would work for. Plus Thai law states that you cannot do any job that a Thai can do. So other than have some company hire you outright and provide a work permit, you are out of luck. Your best bet, if your skills are super good, would be to open your own graphics design company, then hire some high skill Thai's. There is quite an expense to starting your own business but if you could manage, it might be worth it. Thai graphics, multimedia and visual arts are finally starting to be recognized on the world stage. Unfortunately, this is Thailand where any software in the world cost about $3 meaning 1,000's of thais have mastered each major software program.

Only your employer can request a work permit for you after you've received a job or job offer. With an approval letter and work permit from the Ministry of Labour, you then can apply for a non-immigrant B visa, this website should explain the process, good luck: http://www.mfa.go.th/web/2482.php?id=2492

I would agree with Narak, there are already a lot of graphic designers in bangkok. You will have to apply first and he company will have to sponsor you and get you a working permit, which they would think its a hassle as they can hire local talent here and probably pay less than what you would expect for a decent salary. I'm not saying you won't be able to find one, it'll be tough if you are expecting a decent salary at the same time. I believe they are paid anywhere between $300 to $700 tops, but it also depends on what type of graphic designer.

If your qualification is good and some company is interested to hire you. they will help you to obtain work permit. Work permit is very important to live and wotk in Thailand legally. Your first job is to be success in finding a job. Look like it's hard to find a good job in your field as we have so many graphic designers here. You can only get the job if you can tell your employer-to-be how good you are, and why they have to hire you instead of those Thai graphic designers. Good Luck,

Narak
