Thai Work Permit & Visa

For a for­eigner who wants to work in Thai­land but with­out a valid Thai work per­mit, employ­ers will not pay you in part or in full. Hence, with­out a Thai work per­mit or a com­pany, you have no legal sup­port to stand on and fight for your rights and privileges.

Thai law pro­hibits employ­ers from allow­ing aliens to per­form any func­tion other than that described in the alien’s Work Per­mit. Employ­ers must report changes in employ­ment, trans­fers and ter­mi­na­tion of all aliens in their orga­ni­za­tion within 15 days of any such action.

In cases of dis­missal, aliens must return their work per­mit to labor author­i­ties in Bangkok at the Alien Occu­pa­tion divi­sion or, if they are in a provin­cial area, to the province’s Depart­ment of Employ­ment. Fail­ure to do so will result in a fine of up to 5,000 Baht.

Any alien who engages in work with­out a work per­mit, or in vio­la­tion of the con­di­tions of his work as stip­u­lated in his per­mit, may be pun­ished by a term of impris­on­ment not exceed­ing three months or a fine of up to 5,000 Baht or both.

The first step in obtain­ing a Work Per­mit is to obtain a proper Non-immigrant Class “B” Busi­ness Visa from a Royal Thai Embassy or Con­sulate out­side of Thailand.

Work Per­mits are issued by the Alien Con­trol Divi­sion of the Depart­ment of Employ­ment, Min­istry of Labor and Social Welfare.

Two enti­ties are under scrutiny in the process of apply­ing for a Work Per­mit: the apply­ing com­pany and the employee.

We can pro­vide you with full sup­port in these mat­ters. Depend­ing upon the indi­vid­ual cir­cum­stances of the appli­cant and his employer, sev­eral addi­tional sup­port­ing doc­u­ments may have to be pro­duced. These may con­cern details of the apply­ing com­pany (includ­ing reg­is­tered cap­i­tal, bal­ance sheets, and tax records). The per­sonal back­ground of the appli­cant is also exam­ined with regard to edu­ca­tional back­ground and rel­e­vant work experience.
