DO I NEED A VISA TO WORK IN PHUKET?
Based on the current rules you do indeed require a visa to legally secure a job in Thailand if you are an EU citizen. If your country is outside of the European Union and you are not an EU citizen then you do still need a visa. Those from the United States, Canada, Australia and the rest of the world usually need a visa to do any work on the island.
Despite this many employers conclude their recruitment without paperwork meaning that you would not require a visa. Our experienced in resort team are on hand to help you obtain any paperwork necessary to allow you to secure your dream job in Phuket this winter!

Our guests have to be 18 years old to work full-time in Phuket, whether or not you’re an EU citizen. The reason for this is that a lot of the jobs going are in venues which serve alcohol.
