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.
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.
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 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.
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 must an employer prepare for a first foreign hire?
Typically current company records — registration certificate, shareholder list, financial statements and tax filings — together with social security registration for employees and an employment contract whose job title and scope match the permit sought. Ratio requirements for Thai employees or minimum registered capital may apply under the rules in force, so the corporate structure should be reviewed before filing begins.
Can dependants of a work-permit holder work?
Permission to stay as a dependant and permission to work are separate matters. Dependants admitted on the basis of the principal's status do not gain an automatic right to work; they need an employer and their own work permit application under the normal criteria. Children entering school require a separate process, including certified translations of academic records.
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.

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
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.
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.
Keep a scanned backup at every stage
Photograph or scan every page before submission and again after each stamp, so you have a reference if a document is lost in transit.
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.
Common reasons documents get rejected
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.
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.
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.
Signature mismatch
Signature attestation is compared against the signature on the ID card or passport. A different signature style will be refused at the counter.
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 legalisation
Apostille versus embassy legalisation
Which route applies depends on whether the destination country is a party to the Apostille Convention.
Foreign documents for use in Thailand
They must first be certified in the issuing country, then translated and legalised in Thailand.
Legalisation by the Department of Consular Affairs
Document legalisation in Thailand is handled by the Legalization Division, Department of Consular Affairs, MFA.
Correct order of certification steps
The usual chain is original → translation → legalisation → destination embassy attestation where required.
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.
