Consultant helping a foreign client prepare visa and work-permit documents

Where is work permit application submitted?

Where is work permit application submitted — Jurisdiction is split: visa issuance sits with Thai missions abroad, extensions and reporting with the Immigration Bureau, work authorisation with the Department of Employment, and investment privileges with the BOI. /work permit/i Holders staying beyond 90 days must file the 90-day report with Immigration, which is a separate obligation from extending the visa. Overstay carries statutory consequences, including a daily fine and re-entry bans set by the Immigration Act and related notifications. Certification of a translation by the Ministry of Justice and legalisation by the Department of Consular Affairs are separate processes — confirm which the recipient wants. For Thai civil-registry records, request a freshly certified extract from the registrar rather than reusing an old printout. Foreign land ownership is restricted by the Land Code, while condominium units are subject to the foreign-quota ratio in the Condominium Act. The address stated on the documents should match the house registration or proof of residence used in the filing. Where your matter passes through several agencies, we sequence the steps first so no document expires mid-chain.

Key points

  • Confirm the receiving authority’s exact requirement before any translation is certified.
  • Foreign-issued documents usually need home-country notarisation or Apostille first.
  • Names, dates and company details must match passports and official registries exactly.
  • Bundling related services (translation + notary + legalisation + filing) shortens total lead time.
