Applying Work Permit in Thailand 申請泰國工作許可證

A foreigner must have a work permit in order to work in Thailand. An employer must employ four Thai employees for each work permit. In addition, in the first year of company registration, Ministry of Labor may allow an employer to apply one work permit for every 1-2 Thai employees.

外國人想在泰國工作首先需要工作許可證。一位泰國雇主須僱用四位泰國員工才能申請一份工作許可證。泰國公司成立的第一年內泰國勞工部可能會同意泰國雇主在只有一到兩位泰國員工的情狀下申請工作許可證。

If Ministry of Labor accepts work permit application when there are less than four Thai employees, it will follow up when the work permit file a renewal application, and strictly requires the employer to have four Thai employees.

如第一次申請工作許可證時泰國員工不到四人，申請許可證延展時泰國勞工部會強制確認泰國員工有四個員工。

Before applying a work permit, a foreign employee must be registered at Social Security Office.

外國員工在申請工作許可證時須已註冊泰國社會保險。
