Order Work Permits & BOI — send the file, we handle the rest
Work Permits & BOI: Foreign work authorisation through both the standard and BOI channels. The principal authority is Department of Employment and the Board of Investment. Detailed requirements change over time, so confirm the current conditions before each filing.
If you would rather not deal with the counters yourself, send photos of your documents first. We confirm the exact document set, the certification route the receiving authority accepts, and a realistic timeline before any work begins.

What sets the pace on this service
| Stage | Who acts | What sets the pace |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Case assessment and document check | Our team + client | Starts as soon as complete copies arrive; duration depends on how complete the Work Permits & BOI file is. |
| 2. Prepare translations and supporting papers | Translator + second reviewer | Depends on page count and terminology complexity; rush scheduling is possible. |
| 3. Filing with the authority | Our team ↔ Department of Employment and the Board of Investment | Governed by Department of Employment and the Board of Investment's queue and discretion at the time, so we do not promise a fixed completion date. |
| 4. Follow-up and handling objections | Our team | If more documents or corrections are requested we refile continuously rather than restarting the process. |
| 5. Final check and delivery | Our team + client | Verified before forwarding, with a complete archived set kept for future filings. |
Where files get rejected — and how we prevent it
- Thai-to-foreign staff ratios and capital rules differ per channel — verify with the authority
- The permitted scope not matching the work actually performed
- Foreign qualifications not yet legalised
- Starting work before authorisation is granted, even on a trial basis
- Actual duties differ from the position stated on the permit

Advisers, not just a processing vendor
Our team has advised on cross-border document work for over 15 years. Before any filing we tell you which document set the receiving authority actually accepts, which certification route fits, and where a faster lawful alternative exists. If a case should not proceed as planned, we say so and propose what will work.
We do not simply process paperwork — we advise throughout the case. With more than 15 years of experience we review your documents before anything is filed, flag where rejection risk sits, and sequence the full chain end to end. If you would rather not run the process yourself, send the documents for a no-obligation review first.

What are the end-to-end steps for Work Permit?
We review the facts and source documents, assemble and verify the file, submit to the Department of Employment or the BOI One Stop Service, follow up on official queries, and hand over the result with a full copy set. For Work Permit a case manager tracks every stage and reports status. Call +66 83-249-4999 · LINE @NYCLI · nyclegal@ilc.ltd
Which documents are required for Work Permit?
The baseline set is your ID or passport, the original documents relating to Work Permit, proof of connection (house registration, company affidavit or the underlying contract) and a power of attorney if a representative attends. The exact list follows the Department of Employment or the BOI One Stop Service requirements on the filing date; we send a case-specific checklist first.
How long does Work Permit take?
Turnaround depends on the Department of Employment or the BOI One Stop Service queue, how complete the file is, and public holidays. We give a case-specific estimate after reviewing the actual documents and update it if anything changes — do not plan travel around generic figures found online for Work Permit.
What costs are involved in Work Permit?
Costs split into official fees at the published government rate and our professional fee. Fees are quoted case by case based on complexity and document volume — ask our team before work starts. For Work Permit we confirm the cost breakdown in writing before work starts, so nothing is added mid-way.
Who is eligible to apply for Work Permit?
Eligibility is set by the Department of Employment or the BOI One Stop Service rules and generally turns on your personal status, your connection to the document or matter, and valid identification. Applicants abroad can usually act through a power of attorney. We confirm eligibility for Work Permit before any filing.
Can Work Permit be handled while I am overseas?
In many cases yes, through a power of attorney certified in the form required where you live; some documents must additionally pass a Thai embassy before use in Thailand. Only steps that legally require personal appearance cannot be delegated. We sequence Work Permit to minimise travel.
