Thank you for your responses.

I actually look for an electrical/aerospace engineer or project manager position.

By checking on the Thai Embassy website, only the Smart Visa seems to allow an entrance without a signed job contract. Have you heard about any other options?

Thanks in advance

No , but the visa you mention is not easy to acquire and will NOT allow you to work. for an employer. Best is to.check thaievisa.go,th

How old are you? Are your diplomas in Engoish and proper certified by Thai embassy. Did you find your profession to be.eligible for.foreigners?

Don't do half a research as  you will get disappointed!!!

Jobs for electrical/aerospace engineers are possible in Thailand for foreigners, but it can be more challenging than for locals due to visa requirements and competition.As per link above

Short breakdown:

Demand:

* Electrical Engineering:  Thailand has a growing demand for electrical engineers, particularly in the automotive, electronics, and renewable energy sectors.

* Aerospace Engineering:  The aerospace industry in Thailand is smaller, with fewer opportunities compared to electrical engineering. However, there are some companies involved in aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) that may hire foreign aerospace engineers.

Challenges:

* Visa and Work Permit:  Foreigners need a Non-Immigrant B visa and a work permit to work in Thailand. These can be difficult to obtain, especially if the company cannot prove that they cannot find a qualified Thai national for the position.

* Language:  While English proficiency is increasing in Thailand, particularly in technical fields, knowing some Thai can be a significant advantage in the job market and for daily life.

* Competition:  You'll be competing with both Thai and other foreign engineers for these positions.

Tips for Finding Jobs:

* Network:  Connect with people in the industry through online platforms like LinkedIn and attend industry events.

* Job Boards:  Use online job boards like JobsDB, Huneety, and Michael Page to find relevant openings.

* Recruitment Agencies:  Consider working with recruitment agencies specializing in engineering or foreign talent.

* Company Websites:  Check the career pages of companies you're interested in, such as those in the automotive, electronics, and aerospace sectors.

Key Requirements:

* Education: A bachelor's degree in electrical or aerospace engineering is typically required. A master's degree can be advantageous.

* Experience:  Having relevant work experience, especially in your desired industry, will increase your chances.

* Skills:  Strong technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and communication skills are essential.

* Language:  While not always mandatory, some Thai language skills can be beneficial.

Overall:

While it may require more effort, securing a job as an electrical or aerospace engineer in Thailand as a foreigner is possible. By focusing on in-demand skills, networking, and being persistent in your job search, you can increase your chances of success.
