Creation d’Entreprise en Thailande : Tout savoir sur le Permis de Travail
Qui a besoin d’un permis de travail (Work Permit) ? Quand ? Pourquoi ? et pour combien de temps ? Toutes ces questions ont leur reponse sur ce post du blog “Doing Business in Thailand”.
Extraits (en Anglais) :
“When do you need a work permit?
As already stated in the visa post you will need a work permit as soon as you engage in work by “exerting energy or using knowledge whether or not in consideration of wages or other benefits “. Of course if you just come into Thailand to negotiate a contract with a Thai counterpart you do not need a work permit for this.
As already explained, you will not need a work permit, to accomplish temporally (less than 15 days) any work of any “urgent and essential nature”, providing that you and your employer have submitted a written notification on a prescribed form and that the notification has been accepted by the Labor Department. Note that if you fulfill these criteria you can enter Thailand and work for the determined period with any kind of visa.

When may you start to work?
If the employer is a non-BOI company, the Employee cannot start to work as long as the work permit has not been issued by the Labor Department. If the employer is a BOI company, the employer must apply for the foreign employee work permit within 30 days of the issuance of the BOI license.
An employee of a BOI company can start work during the work permit application process. Note that work permits for employees of BOI companies will be issued by the Labor Department within 7 days of receiving the notification that the BOI has approved this employee.

Under the new act the work permit may be valid up to two years and the validity of your work permit will no longer be tied to the duration of your visa. If you do not have a one year visa you will not need to renew your work permit after every visa run as before. But you will still need to have a valid visa to stay in Thailand

If you change employer, you will need to obtain a new work permit. Under the old act employers has a legal obligation to return the work permit. Under the new act this obligation has been suppressed. However, be sure that your employer return your work permit anyway because if he fails to do so you will not be able to obtain a new work permit.
