WORK PERMIT

              To legally work in Thailand, a foreigner must apply for a work permit. A work permit is a legal document that states a foreigner’s position, current occupation, or job description and the Thai company he is working with. It also serves as a license to perform a job or an occupation allowed for foreigners inside Thailand.

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.
