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.
Is a work permit the same as a visa in Thailand?
No. A visa such as Non-Immigrant B is issued by a Thai embassy or consulate, extensions of stay are approved by the Immigration Bureau, while the work permit itself is issued by the Department of Employment under the Emergency Decree on Managing the Work of Aliens B.E. 2560 (2017). Holding a valid visa does not by itself authorise employment, and working before authorisation carries legal penalties, so both tracks must be planned together.
What does the BOI channel change?
Promoted companies can request approved skilled or expert positions through the BOI e-Expert system and complete visa and work permit formalities at the One Stop Service Center. Conditions and validity depend on the promotion certificate and the approved position, so a company should confirm its certificate conditions before planning foreign headcount.
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.
How do we get exact fees and timelines?
Processing times and official fees vary by application type, receiving office, document completeness and local queues, so fixed figures on a web page would be misleading. Our team quotes case by case after reviewing the actual documents — contact us by phone, LINE or email.
Do I need a work permit for remote work for a foreign company?
This is fact-specific. The law addresses work performed within the Kingdom rather than only the location of the payer. Visas designed for remote workers carry their own conditions and do not automatically confer the right to work for a business in Thailand. Where Thai clients or a Thai entity become involved, obtain advice before starting to avoid regulatory exposure.
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.
What happens to the permit if I change employer or job title?
Authorisation is granted by reference to the employer, workplace and described duties, so a change in any of them normally requires a filing rather than a private arrangement. Continuing to work under the old permit after the change is treated as unauthorised work. Plan the change with the new employer before resigning, because the gap between employments also affects the underlying permission to stay.

Service Playbook
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. Check company and role eligibility — Registered capital, Thai-to-foreign staff ratio and reserved occupations are verified first.
2. Prepare foreign documents — Qualifications and experience letters must be legalised abroad and translated before filing.
3. File the application — Through the Department of Employment, or a dedicated channel such as the BOI One Stop Service.
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.

Route Comparison
Comparing Thai work permit routes
Different employer types use different channels, and each channel pairs with a different visa category.
Route
When to use
Certifying authority
Approx. duration
Rejection risk
Standard filing with the Department of Employment
The employer is an ordinary Thai company without BOI promotion
Department of Employment, Ministry of Labour
Variable, driven by how complete the employer's file is
Thai-to-foreign staff ratios and registered capital not meeting thresholds is the common refusal ground
BOI-promoted company channel
The employer holds a promotion certificate and the position is on the approved list
BOI together with the Immigration Bureau and Department of Employment
Generally faster than the standard route, still variable
A position that differs from the approved list requires an amendment first
Conditional or short-term work authorisation
Short assignments or job types covered by specific published rules
Department of Employment under the notification in force
Shorter than a full application
Working 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
Plan around expiry dates
Extensions, reporting and re-entry permits should be handled well ahead of the deadline; queues and public holidays can make last-minute filing impossible.
Keep every receipt and acknowledgement
Photograph all filing receipts and stamps; they are key evidence in any later verification.
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.
Common reasons documents get rejected
Expired supporting documents
Civil registry extracts, medical certificates and police clearances have limited validity; old copies make the bundle incomplete.
Believing guaranteed-approval claims
No provider can guarantee an outcome; only the immigration authority or embassy decides. Our role is to make the file accurate and complete so avoidable rejections are reduced.
Ignoring post-approval obligations
Periodic reporting, address notification and work conditions are ongoing duties that affect the next extension.
Refiling immediately without fixing the cause
Analyse the refusal grounds and address them; resubmitting the same file usually produces the same result.
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.
What people search for
Frequently searched topics about visas and immigration
Notification of residence for foreign nationals
House owners or occupiers must notify the stay of foreign nationals under Thai immigration law.
Refusal and reapplication
Read the stated reason first and address the actual cause rather than resubmitting the same file.
A visa is not a work authorisation
Holding a visa does not automatically grant work rights; a work permit is a separate matter.
Documents required for a visa application
Checklists are set by the embassy or receiving authority; always follow their current published notice.
These topics reflect the rules and practice of the relevant authorities and can change. Confirm with the receiving authority, or ask our team by phone, LINE or email.
