Service Knowledge Base

Work permits, BOI/IEAT privileges, Treaty of Amity and APEC card — practical answers

First-party answers on Thai work authorisation: the standard Department of Employment route, BOI and IEAT channels for skilled experts, US company rights under the Treaty of Amity, and the APEC Business Travel Card for Thai nationals — including which supporting documents must be translated and legalised first. (19+ search topics covered)

How are foreign degrees and experience letters used for a Thai work permit?

They are normally authenticated by the competent authority in the issuing country and by the Royal Thai Embassy there, or by apostille once the Convention enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027 where accepted, then translated into Thai and legalised by the Department of Consular Affairs. Experience letters should state the position, exact dates, duties and the issuer's contact details, because verification enquiries do occur. Confirm the document list with the Department of Employment or the receiving office before preparing the file.

Does Treaty of Amity status remove the work permit requirement?

No. The treaty concerns the company's right to do business, not an individual's right to work. US executives and staff still need an appropriate visa category and a work permit under the same rules as other foreign nationals.

What happens if the permit lapses while renewal is pending?

Renewal must be filed before expiry within the period set by the regulations, and the permitted-to-stay end date must be tracked alongside it because the two dates do not always coincide. A lapse can force a restart and affect immigration status. Set calendar reminders several weeks ahead and keep current employer documents ready before the deadline.

How are foreign degrees and experience letters handled?

They usually must be translated into Thai or English as required and legalised through the diplomatic chain: certified in the issuing country (apostille where that country is a Convention party), then endorsed by the Royal Thai Embassy, or endorsed by that country's embassy in Thailand and then legalised by the Legalization Division of the Department of Consular Affairs before submission.

Can I keep my work permit after changing employer?

A work permit is tied to the employer and the described work. Changing employer or the nature of the work requires notification or a fresh authorisation within the timeframe set by the Department of Employment's rules. Working for a new employer before that is completed falls outside the scope of the permission and exposes both employee and employer to penalties.

What must be done when changing employer or job title?

A work permit is tied to the conditions recorded in it, including employer, position and place of work, so material changes must be notified or amended under the applicable law before working under the new conditions. Changing employer also usually affects employment-based permission to stay, so the two processes should be planned together. Typical documents are a letter from the new employer, corporate registration papers and the new employment contract; verify the current procedure with the Department of Employment.

Who can obtain an APEC Business Travel Card?

The card facilitates business travel among participating APEC economies and is issued to Thai business people by the Department of Consular Affairs, subject to endorsement by the designated authorities. Pre-clearance for each economy is decided by that economy, and the card does not grant the right to work abroad.

Which authority decides a work permit, and what does it not cover?

The Department of Employment under the Ministry of Labour administers work authorisation for foreign nationals; the Immigration Bureau separately administers the right to stay. A work permit does not extend your permission to stay, and a valid visa does not authorise work. Both must be kept aligned, because expiry of one commonly triggers problems with the other at the next renewal.

Thai work permit — company-side and employee-side documents

Work permits are issued by the Department of Employment and are tied to the employer, position and workplace. Changing job, role or location requires a new filing.

Documents to prepare

  • Company side: current affidavit, shareholder list, financial statements, social security filings
  • Employee side: passport, the correct visa category, and the required medical certificate
  • Degrees and experience letters, legalised at source and translated for Thai use
  • Employment contract and job description
  • Workplace map and photographs where requested
  • Power of attorney for the company's filing agent

Step-by-step process

  1. 1. Check company and role eligibility Registered capital, Thai-to-foreign staff ratio and reserved occupations are verified first.
  2. 2. Prepare foreign documents Qualifications and experience letters must be legalised abroad and translated before filing.
  3. 3. File the application Through the Department of Employment, or a dedicated channel such as the BOI One Stop Service.
  4. 4. Collect and comply Work only within the stated role and location, and renew before expiry.

Pitfalls and rejection causes

  • Working outside the stated role or location breaches the permit conditions.
  • A permit belongs to the employer — it cannot follow you to a new company.
  • Visa and permit expire on different dates; track both.
  • Company documents older than the accepted window must be reissued.

Tips from our team

  • Set reminders at least 45 days before either expiry date.
  • Maintain a standing company document pack to speed up future filings.
  • BOI-promoted companies should use the dedicated channel to cut steps.

Prefer not to handle the queues yourself, or worried about a rejection? Send us photos of your documents for a free pre-check. We handle the full chain — obtaining certified copies, translation, certification and submission — and keep you updated at each step. Reach us on LINE, phone or email during business hours.

Route Comparison

Comparing Thai work permit routes

Different employer types use different channels, and each channel pairs with a different visa category.

RouteWhen to useCertifying authorityApprox. durationRejection risk
Standard filing with the Department of EmploymentThe employer is an ordinary Thai company without BOI promotionDepartment of Employment, Ministry of LabourVariable, driven by how complete the employer's file isThai-to-foreign staff ratios and registered capital not meeting thresholds is the common refusal ground
BOI-promoted company channelThe employer holds a promotion certificate and the position is on the approved listBOI together with the Immigration Bureau and Department of EmploymentGenerally faster than the standard route, still variableA position that differs from the approved list requires an amendment first
Conditional or short-term work authorisationShort assignments or job types covered by specific published rulesDepartment of Employment under the notification in forceShorter than a full applicationWorking beyond the authorised scope is an offence even when a permit exists

Timelines above are practical estimates from live casework and can change with each authority's policy; confirm with the receiving authority before booking travel. If you would rather not test routes by trial and error, our advisers can assess which route fits your case.

Advisory Service

We do not just process documents — we advise you through the whole case

Our team has worked on cross-border documents, certified translation and government liaison for over 15 years. Most rejections we see are not caused by missing paperwork but by choosing the wrong route on day one, so we always start with a case assessment.

Route assessment

We look at your destination, purpose and deadline, then tell you which certification route applies — and which steps you can skip.

Pre-submission review

Name spelling, consistency across documents, document age and translation format are checked before anything reaches a counter.

Timeline planning

We sequence the steps around your appointment or travel date and flag bottlenecks in advance.

Rejection recovery

We read the refusal reasons, identify the underlying cause, and plan a resubmission that answers what the authority asked for.

Practical Q&A

Practical questions · Near me / DIY / Required documents

Is there a service point near me?

Our main offices are Lat Phrao 95 (Bangkok), Khon Kaen and Udon Thani. We serve the whole country through scans and document courier, and can meet at city rail stations or malls. Ask our team by phone, LINE or email for the most convenient option.

Can I handle this myself?

Many steps can be done personally under the relevant authority's rules. What usually costs time is the wrong sequence, a translation format that does not match the requirement, or a source document version the recipient will not accept. Check the destination checklist before starting and ask us if anything is unclear.

Which documents should I prepare?

Generally the original document from the competent authority, the owner's ID or passport, a translation in the format the destination requires, and a power of attorney if someone acts for you. Details vary by service type — ask our team for a case-specific checklist.
Practical advice & cautions

Visa and immigration matters: advice and cautions

Before you start
  • Read the official conditions first

    Visa conditions change. Check the deciding authority's latest announcement, then use our service to prepare documents and translations that match those conditions.

  • Make funds explainable

    Large deposits made shortly before filing attract questions. Support them with evidence of income and use statements bearing the bank's original seal.

  • Check passport validity and blank pages

    Many countries set a minimum remaining validity and number of blank pages. Verify before your appointment.

  • Order documents to the authority's checklist

    Assembling the bundle in the required order with an index speeds up assessment and reduces requests for more documents.

Common reasons documents get rejected
  • Form data contradicting the attachments

    Dates, addresses or travel history that conflict with supporting documents are a frequent refusal ground and may be read as misrepresentation.

  • Expired supporting documents

    Civil registry extracts, medical certificates and police clearances have limited validity; old copies make the bundle incomplete.

  • Refiling immediately without fixing the cause

    Analyse the refusal grounds and address them; resubmitting the same file usually produces the same result.

  • Translations the destination does not accept

    Accepted translator categories differ by country; confirm the required type before ordering.

Requirements differ by authority and destination country and can change. Confirm current conditions with the receiving authority, or ask our team by phone, LINE or email.
