Tijdens onze reis door (o.a.) Thailand willen we ook vrijwilligerswerk gaan doen. Nu vertelde iemand ons dat we daarvoor een speciale 'permit' nodig hebben. Weet iemand daar meer van?
We hebben het vrijwilligerswerk nog niet concreet geregeld, willen gewoon zien wat op ons pad komt.
Bedankt,
Petra

Work permit for charity workers
Foreign volunteer workers with non-profit organizations should have work permits even if they are not paid for the work they do.
Foreigners have to a have work permit for any work they do. It’s not difficult; just have the non-profit organization apply with a document stating that you have joined them as a volunteer.
Foreign volunteers should have work permits because they may become involved with officials.
For example, if you need to report to the police that your wallet was stolen while you were doing volunteer work, the officers may ask [what you were doing when the theft took place]. They may then ask to see your work permit.

Alien Employment Act (Part I)
Beyond complying with Thai immigration law, a foreign citizen must also fulfill additional requirements in order to obtain a work permit. Aliens working in Thailand are governed by the Alien Employment Act BE 2521 (AD 1978) which is administered by the Thai Labor and Social Welfare Department (Labor Department). The Act enumerates certain occupations which an alien is prohibited from performing in Thailand as well as outlines the procedures for the procurement and maintenance of a work permit. Foremost, the Act codifies the requirement that natural persons not of Thai nationality must almost always obtain a permit before the alien begins to work inside the Kingdom of Thailand.
Under the Act, the term 'work' is defined very broadly. It includes all activities, which entail exerting one's physical energy or employing one's knowledge, whether or not for wages or other benefits. Consequentially, even foreign volunteers are normally required to obtain a work permit even though the alien will not receive any remuneration for services performed. If the activity of an alien performed in Thailand results in income or benefit to another person, a work permit must be obtained or the foreign citizen will be punishable under Thai labor law.
The penalty for working without a permit could amount to imprisonment not exceeding three months and/or a fine up to 5,000 baht. A local company or person that permits an alien to work without a required work permit can also be punished with imprisonment up to three years and/or a fine up to 60,000 baht.
Je hebt officieel dus wel een vergunning nodig. Maar het regelen ervan is niet al te moeilijk zoals hierboven wordt vermeld.

Vrijwilligerswerk
Kijk ook uit met het soort vrijwilligerswerk dat je wilt gaan doen.
Op Phi Phi bijvoorbeeld zijn veel vrijwilligers actief met het opniew opbouwen van guesthouses etc. Maar: dat gebeurt allemaal illegaal, de Thaise regering heeft nog geen besluit genomen hoe het verder gaat met Phi Phi. Het kan dus best zo zijn, dat alles wat nu door vrijwilligers wordt opgebouwd weer moet worden afgebroken.
