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)

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 since 2015. 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

What is the route for Thai company documents used abroad?

Obtain the company affidavit, shareholder list (BorJor 5) or latest memorandum from the Department of Business Development, translate into the language the destination requires, then legalise at the Legalization Division of the Department of Consular Affairs. Confirm with the recipient whether destination-embassy certification is also required; destination Apostille membership alone does not establish an exemption.

Must the company affidavit be freshly issued?

Most receiving authorities set a validity window counted from the registrar's issue date, commonly measured in months. Check the recipient's requirement before ordering copies: filing an out-of-date affidavit is a frequent rejection cause, and legalisation cannot revive an expired document.

How is a corporate power of attorney certified?

An authorised director signs before a Notarial Services Attorney, attaching a current company affidavit that evidences signing authority. The signed POA then goes to the Department of Consular Affairs and, where required, the destination embassy. Ask our team by phone, LINE or email for the order that applies to your country.
Practical advice & cautions

Business licensing and BOI: advice and cautions

Before you start
  • Check whether your activity sits on a restricted list

    The Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542 groups activities into Lists 1–3 with different conditions. Define the real activity first, then pick the route: licence, certificate, treaty right, or a BOI promotion certificate.

  • Legalise parent-company documents through the full chain

    Affidavits, financial statements and powers of attorney usually need notarisation abroad, government or embassy authentication, then Thai translation and legalisation by the Legalization Division, Department of Consular Affairs.

  • Consider BOI when your activity is an eligible promoted activity

    A promotion certificate carries incentives and shareholding conditions that differ from an ordinary company. Compare minimum investment, technology and employment conditions per activity before committing.

  • Draft company objectives to cover, but not exceed, what you need

    Objectives registered with the Department of Business Development must cover the licensed activity. A mismatch forces an amendment of the affidavit first, typically costing weeks.

Common reasons documents get rejected
  • Ignoring post-approval reporting duties

    Most licences require periodic reporting, renewal or notification of changes. Missing these can lead to revocation even when the business operates normally.

  • Using nominee Thai shareholders

    Holding shares on behalf of a foreigner without genuine investment breaches the Foreign Business Act, and the source of Thai shareholders' funds can be examined. We do not assist with such structures.

  • Filing before the premises can pass inspection

    Many licences involve a site visit. Filing without signage, floor plans or required sanitation results in a correction order and a new inspection date.

  • Foreign documents older than the accepted validity window

    Parent-company affidavits and powers of attorney often have a validity period from issue. A slow legalisation chain can expire them before filing, forcing a fresh set.

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.

Choosing a visa document service for travel abroad

A visa outcome is the consulate's discretion, so judge a provider on process, not promises. Reliable providers state the current published requirements of your destination, prepare a file that matches them, explain what happens if the consulate asks for more, and never claim guaranteed approval. Anyone promising a result is describing something they do not control.

How to evaluate a provider

  • Cites the destination's published requirements — Requirements change; the file must match the current official notice, not last year's checklist.
  • No guaranteed-approval claims — Approval is at the consulate's discretion and cannot be contracted for.
  • Explains the additional-documents scenario — Requests for more evidence are routine and need a response plan.
  • Separates government fees from service fees — Consular fees are payable regardless of who prepares the file.
  • Keeps your data and originals traceable — Visa files contain financial and identity documents that need documented handling.

Questions to ask before you commit

  1. How many working days does it actually take, counted from a complete file?
  2. If the receiving authority rejects or asks for changes, do you correct it, and under what terms?
  3. How can I track status, and who physically holds the original documents?
  4. Which official notice are you basing my checklist on, and when was it published?
  5. If the consulate asks for extra documents, what is your process and timeline?

FAQ on choosing a provider

Which visa service is recommended, and how do I avoid a bad one?
Choose a provider that cites the destination's current published requirements, separates consular fees from its own, and explains how it responds if extra documents are requested. Avoid anyone offering guaranteed approval, since the decision belongs to the consulate.
Does using an agent improve my chance of approval?
An agent cannot influence the decision. What a good agent does is make sure the file is complete, internally consistent and formatted the way the consulate expects, which removes the avoidable reasons for refusal.
