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)

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.

Which comes first, the visa or the work permit?

In the usual sequence, the foreign national first holds a non-immigrant visa consistent with the intended employment, then applies for a work permit under the law on managing the employment of foreign workers, administered by the Department of Employment. Continued stay afterwards is decided separately by the Immigration Bureau. The three systems are distinct but interlocking, and a gap in one blocks the next.

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.

Can dependants of a permit holder work?

Dependant status does not create work rights. A dependant who wants to work needs their own employer and their own work permit under the normal conditions. Family documents such as marriage and birth certificates usually need translation and legalisation for both immigration and labour filings.

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.

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.

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.

What is the IEAT route?

Operators inside industrial estates governed by the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand may be permitted to bring in skilled workers, experts and their families under the IEAT Act. It is a separate legal basis from BOI promotion, but the work permit and stay formalities still have to be completed with the responsible agencies.

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. 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.

Rather not learn by trial and error? Send your case details and document photos for a review — reach us on LINE, phone or email during business hours.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Common reasons documents get rejected

  • Translations the destination does not accept

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

  • Ignoring post-approval obligations

    Periodic reporting, address notification and work conditions are ongoing duties that affect the next extension.

  • 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.

  • Expired supporting documents

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

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.
