The visa will allow to stay in country for period of visa but any work will require a work permit that must be obtained by employer.

Hey and welcome..

01: I have no idea, outside what i read, that you NEED Work permit to work here, and even so, a lot of rules of what kind of work you can do/not do...

02: I live in Nonthaburi, a Province city near Bangkok, and here is a lot of Soccer club, and i have no idea about what level/league there in, if open for people or not, but a lot of club here, so i´m "pretty" sure Bangkok be the same, or it is Not, a small trip out here...

03: It is a hard one mate. I am sad to say, i never meet 1 Thai talk good about black people, Simple because the way Thai look at black and white people "skin", it is a shame..

Thanks guys For replying
About football maybe i will wait till im there and then i can look for a team , cause i didn't find nothing on internet .

About how they think about foreigner white or black, my mom use to tell me be polite no matter what . I did work 3 years in china maybe it will still help.

For the visas, actually im more interested by an internship for sure i will try all the legal way to do something .

Thanks a lot
