Work permit document advisory
Work permit outcomes are decided by consistency across three bundles: employer records, employee records and foreign qualification evidence. With 15+ years of practice we reconcile all three before filing, reducing document requests and queue slippage.
Advisory scope
- Reconcile name, job title and duties across the employment contract, application forms and the Non-B visa
- Sequence certification of foreign degrees and experience letters
- Review employer corporate records, Thai-staff ratio and capital conditions
- Plan renewals and employer or position changes in advance
What you receive
- Separate employer-side and employee-side checklists
- Certified translations of qualifications with the downstream legalization route
- A filing timeline with the deadlines that must be monitored
- A written advisory note via LINE or email
How we work
1. Assess the employment structure
Business type, role and applicable conditions are reviewed before documents are prepared
2. Collect both bundles
Employer corporate records plus the employee's personal and qualification documents
3. Translate and certify
Foreign documents are translated and legalized in the order the authority expects
4. File and monitor
Submission in the correct sequence, with follow-up on any additional document request
5. Plan the renewal
Renewal deadlines and mid-year condition changes are tracked for you
Common pitfalls
- A job title in the contract that differs from the application form
- Foreign qualifications not legalized in the correct order
- A visa expiring while the application is still pending
- Changing employer or workplace without following the notification conditions
Do it yourself vs delegate
Do it yourself when
A straight renewal with the same employer, same role and an unchanged document set is manageable in-house.
Delegate to us when
For a first filing, foreign documents requiring legalization, or a change of role or employer, let us reconcile and run the whole bundle so the visa never lapses.
Frequently asked questions
How are foreign degrees certified?
Usually by the issuing country's authority and/or its embassy, then certified translation into Thai. We map the exact order for your case.
Which visa is needed first?
Normally a business (Non-B) or other relevant visa category must be held before the work permit application.
What happens when changing employer?
The change must follow the prescribed procedure and also affects visa status, so plan it before resigning.
What does the employer provide?
Latest company affidavit, financial statements, tax filings, social security records and the employment contract as the base set.
Can we get advice before hiring?
Yes. A feasibility review before the contract is issued avoids most later document problems.
What if more documents are requested?
We interpret the request, assemble the supplementary evidence and file it within the stated deadline.
