About

To legally work in Thailand, a foreigner must apply for a work permit. To secure a work permit in Thailand, a foreigner needs an initial visa, which is a non-immigrant visa. The non-immigrant visa must be obtained before entering Thailand and should be applied at the Thai Embassy/ Consulate in the country where he/she has the residence

Once the foreigner has a non-immigrant visa, he may begin to process the work permit. The work permit process would take 7 business days to accomplish. The work permit application is processed in the Ministry of Labor office.

A foreigner is eligible to apply for a work permit as long as he has a non-immigrant visa or a resident visa, has an available employer who will provide documents for a work permit, and the occupation he will perform is not prohibited to foreigners.

Processing time for the visa and work permit will usually take 2-4 weeks.
