What this document is
This is the work permit application (คำขออนุญาตทำงาน) of the Department of Employment, Ministry of Labour of Thailand (DOE). DOE publishes it among its MOU forms — for foreign workers hired under agreements or memoranda of understanding (MOU) on labour cooperation between Thailand and other countries.
The form is one page, in Thai with English captions. The bottom part and the box in the header are for official use only.
Who files it and where
- the applicant is the foreign worker, who signs the application;
- at the end of the form the employer certifies that the applicant is really their employee, and signs;
- it is submitted to the Department of Employment — check with DOE which office (Bangkok or provincial employment office, MOU worker centre) handles it for your place of work;
- fees and processing times are not stated on the form — check them with the office.
What the form asks for
- worker: title, name, nationality, date of birth, age, address in Thailand;
- passport or document in lieu of passport: number, place and date of issue, country, expiry;
- visa: type, number, place and date of issue, expiry;
- category of work: general worker, domestic worker, assistant engine operator for fishing vessel or language coordinator;
- employer: name, type of business, address, telephone, fax, e-mail; province and address of the place of work (and other addresses if there are several).
What to attach
The form has no list of attachments. It has a space for the worker’s photo. Offices usually need copies of the passport pages with the visa and the employer’s documents, but check the exact list, the number and size of photos with DOE before submitting.
