Getting a work permit application approved in Thailand can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re doing it for the first time. At Magna Carta Law Firm, we provide professional work permit services in Thailand to help foreigners, expats, and business owners work legally and confidently. Our experienced legal team assists with every step of your work permit application — from document preparation and visa coordination to work permit renewal and compliance with Thai labor law. Whether you’re applying for the first time or extending your stay, we make the work permit process in Thailand clear, lawful, and stress-free.
Working without a valid permit is a criminal offense. Serious fines, or even imprisonment, and possible deportation await those who don’t follow Thailand’s labor laws.
Once you have a work permit, it’s valid for up to one year and can be renewed.
A work permit spells out where you can work, what type of work, who your employer is, and how long you can legally stay. It’s your protection under Thai labor law.
One company can usually hire 1 foreigner for every THB 2,000,000 in paid-up capital. Also, a single company can hold up to 10 foreign work permits under certain conditions.
The law often requires a certain number of Thai employees for each foreign staff member. A common ratio is 4 Thai employees for every foreign employee.
Your employer must fully comply with tax laws and social security obligations. If the company is not in good standing with the Revenue Department or DBD, the application may be rejected.
Before applying, you’ll likely need a Non-Immigrant “B” Visa. This lets you stay legally (usually 90 days) while your work permit is processed.
Here’s how we help you with your work permit application from start to finish:
We assess your eligibility: company status, your role, your credentials, and Thai staffing ratio.
We assist in getting the correct visa (usually Non-Immigrant “B”) and gathering all required documents.
We submit your application to the Thai Labor Department and follow up to ensure everything is in order.
When your permit needs renewing, we help you manage the paperwork to avoid delays or issues.
