Since you are a French citizen, you will get 30 days visa on arrival upon each exit. But you need to exit for stamping a work visa on your passport.

Yes you can. But as said by Shanafashyaana you would need to exist again for the stamping of the work visa if you came back with a tourist visa. But if its a visit visa, i read you could pay for the change to work visa without existing.

Flex,
The rule is different if it's a visa on arrival. They made an amendment on 12th August 2015 and the rules regarding the transfer and endorsement is lacking clarity. I've created a topic related to it, which will give you an idea about it. Please click on this link
