Question
Can a company use BOI work permit for overseas employment, and how does it differ from an individual application?
Short answer
Yes. The difference is the authority pack: a company needs a recently issued company affidavit, the registered seal where applicable, and a power of attorney signed by an authorised director. The substance of BOI work permit for overseas employment is the same. We assemble the corporate pack before filing with the Department of Employment or the BOI One Stop Service so nothing is returned over signing authority.
