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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Can I start working while the application is pending?
Working before authorisation is granted exposes both the worker and the employer to penalties under the foreigners' working management law. The safe course is to agree a start date conditional on issuance, and to keep the employment contract, the position description and the employer's registration documents consistent with what was filed, since discrepancies between the contract and the filing are a frequent cause of rejection.

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

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
Legalization & apostille: practical advice and cautions
Before you start
Separate public documents from private ones
Public records such as house registration, birth and marriage certificates enter the certification chain directly. Private documents such as powers of attorney, affidavits and contracts must first be attested by a Notarial Services Attorney.
Prepare translations in the format the certifying office actually uses
The Department of Consular Affairs certifies translations presented in its expected format. Self-formatted translations are frequently sent back for correction, costing a full queue cycle.
Allow for each step's queue
Total turnaround depends on the current workload of the consular office and of the destination embassy. Plan ahead rather than against a tight travel date; we can give a case-specific range by phone, LINE or email.
Get the receiving party's requirements in writing
Universities, employers and registry offices publish their own checklists. Obtaining that checklist first fixes the number of copies, the language and the certification route correctly on the first attempt.
Common reasons documents get rejected
Opening a bound and sealed bundle
Bundles sealed across the binding must never be separated. Removing the staple voids the certification and the whole set has to be redone.
Mixing both routes
Requesting an apostille and an embassy legalization at the same time when only one is required wastes time and can raise questions at the destination. Pick the single route that matches the destination's convention status.
Ignoring the required translation language
Some countries accept only translations into their own official language, not English. Certifying an English translation first can mean repeating the entire chain.
Assuming a Thai lawyer is a common-law notary public
Thailand has no common-law notary public. The equivalent role is a Notarial Services Attorney registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand. Describing it incorrectly can cause the receiving party to reject the document.
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.
