泰國辦理普通工作證的辦理流程為何?

第一步：在 台灣持邀請函、合同等材料去泰國在台辦事處辦理【泰國商務簽證】
泰國商務簽證有效期3個月，停留期90天。
辦理商務簽證，首先需要泰國符合資格的公司聘請，然後準備護照，派遣函，邀請函等材料去泰國在台辦事處辦理
第二步：持泰國商務簽到泰國後，在簽證的有效期內，由就職公司出面，帶着合同到泰國勞工部辦理工作許可證Work Permit。
工作證也被在泰工作人士稱為WP3「小藍本」，是由泰國勞工部頒發的工作許可證，現在是電子的了。
拿到這個工作證之後才能合法地在泰國工作，並非拿了商務簽證進來就可以上班。
第三步：拿到泰國工作許可證後辦理泰國商務簽證延長，也就是所謂的泰國工作簽證。
辦完泰國工作證之後再過45天，就可以將90天有效的商務簽證換成1年有效的商務簽證，但是根據合同情況，如果合同上籤的是一年半，移民局也可能一次給一年半。至此就獲得了一年以上的泰國合法居留權。

普通工作簽證相關的政府網站及內容？

答：
https://osos.boi.go.th/EN/how-to/218/Getting-Visa–Work-Permit/

非 BOI 業務的簽證和工作許可Visa and Work Permit for Non- BOI Business

工作準證

2008 年《外國工作法》要求所有在泰國工作的外國人在開始在泰國工作之前獲得工作許可證，並描述了工作許可證的發放和維持程序，並列出了外國人可能被排除在外的某些職業。

Work Permits

The Foreign Working Act of 2008 requires all foreigners working in Thailand to obtain a work permit prior to starting work in the Kingdom and describes the procedures for issuance and maintenance of work permits and lists certain occupations from which the foreigners may be excluded.

豁免 

該法對從事以下職業的人員免除工作許可證要求：

• 外交使團成員；
• 領事使團成員；
• 成員國代表以及聯合國及其專門機構的官員；
• 從國外專為上述人員工作的私人僕人；
• 根據泰國政府與外國政府或國際組織之間的協議在泰國執行任務的人員；
• 為履行教育、文化、藝術或體育利益而進入泰國的任何職責或使命的人員；
• 經泰國政府特別允許進入泰國並執行任何職責或使命的人員。作為部長會議允許（無論是否有任何條件）進入並履行任何職責或使命的人；

Exemptions 

The Act grants exemptions from the work permit requirement to persons occupying the following professions:

• Members of the diplomatic corps;
• Members of consular missions;
• Representatives of member countries and officials of the United Nations and its specialized agencies;
• Personal servants coming from abroad to work exclusively for persons listed under the above items;
• Persons who perform duties on missions in the Kingdom under an agreement between the Government of Thailand and a foreign government or international organization;
• Persons who enter into the Kingdom for the performance of any duty or mission for the benefit of education, culture, arts, or sports;
• Persons who are specially permitted by the Thai government to enter into and perform any duty or mission in the Kingdom. As a person permitted, with or without any condition, by the Council of Ministers to enter and perform any duty or mission;

特別案例

雖然大多數外國人必須申請工作許可證，並且在獲得許可證後才能開始工作，但《外國工作法》確實對以下情況提供了特殊待遇：

Special Cases

While most foreigners must apply for a work permit, and may not begin work until the permit is issued, the Foreign Working Act does provide special treatment in the following circumstances:

緊急且必要的工作

臨時進入泰國但根據移民法從事任何「緊急和必要性質」工作的外國人可豁免工作許可證要求，期限不超過 15 天。但是，此類外國人可以只有在將由外國人簽署並經其雇主認可的規定表格（WP-10）上的書面通知提交給總幹事或其指定人員並獲得其接受後，才能從事工作。
有權享有這種待遇的外國人可以持任何類型的簽證進入泰國，包括過境簽證。「緊急和必要工作」一詞沒有明確定義，因此，發放此類豁免屬於行政裁量權問題。

申請執行第九條規定的緊急、必要的職務，期限不超過十五日，且有下列情形的：

1. 外國人進入泰王國從事必要且緊急的工作，如果不能立即進行該工作將導致損害的，其完成期限應在15天內。
2. 一項工作，除了突然必須執行的非工作（如果當時不執行，就會發生損害）之外，與平常一樣具有行政、學術事務和不確定時期的特徵，是沒有必要的，並且緊急工作。
   – 填妥的 WP-10 表格和一張照片（3 x 4 公分）加一份。
   – 說明申請人需要履行緊急和必要職責的原因的信件，例如邀請函和議程等。
   – 護照影本（顯示照片和入境簽證的頁面）。
   – 公司註冊副本（六個月內更新）和增值稅註冊副本；表格 Phor Por 01 確定業務類型，並由授權董事/工作場所所有者或雇主認證。
   – 雇主的工作許可證副本（如果他/她是外國人）。如果該雇主不在泰國工作也沒有工作許可證，則需要經過公證處和泰國大使館認證的授權書。
   – 如果是泰國雇主，則需要雇主身分證影本
   – 外國人和雇主所開立的加蓋10泰銖印花稅的授權書以及被任命人的身分證影本（如果外國人和雇主無法親自申請）。

Urgent and Essential Work

Exemption from work permit requirements is granted to the foreigner who enters into the Kingdom temporarily, but in accordance with the immigration law, to perform any work of any “urgent and essential nature” for a period not exceeding 15 days. However, such foreigner may engage in work only after a written notification on a prescribed form (WP-10), signed by the foreigner and endorsed by his employer, has been submitted to and accepted by the Director-General or his designee.

The foreigners entitled to this treatment may enter into Thailand with any kind of visa, including a transit visa. The term “urgent and essential work” is not explicitly defined and consequently, the issuance of this sort of exemption is a matter of administrative discretion.

Application to perform urgent and necessary duties for period not longer than 15 days according to Article 9 which is under the following condition/situation:

1. An alien entering the Kingdom of Thailand to engage in necessary and urgent work, which if such work cannot be performed immediately will result in damage, shall has a finish period of within 15 days.
2. A work, which has the feature of administration, academic matters and uncertain periods same as the usual except the non-work which one has to perform in suddenly (if failure to perform at the time, the damage will occur), is not necessary and urgent work.

               –  Completed Form of WP-10 and one photograph (3 x 4 cm.) plus one copy.

               –  Letter showing the reason why applicants need to perform urgent and necessary duties such as an invitation letter and agenda etc.

招商引資

根據《投資促進法》尋求在泰國工作許可的外國人必須在 BOI 通知該職位已獲批准後 30 天內提交工作許可證申請。
此類外國人可以在申請處理期間從事授權工作。

Investment Promotion

A foreigner seeking permission to work in the Kingdom under the Investment Promotion Act must submit an application for a work permit within 30 days of notification by the BOI that the position has been approved.
A foreigner in this category may engage in authorized work while the application is being processed.

程序

該法案要求任何在泰國工作的外國人在開始工作之前必須獲得工作許可證。
該法第11條規定，雖然未來的雇主可以在外國人開始工作之前代表外國人提出申請，但實際的工作許可證只有在外國人按照移民法進入泰國並獲得批准後才能簽發。
親自出面領取工作許可證。

對於普通職位，將頒發一年的工作許可證，但對於行政職位或專家，將頒發兩年的工作許可證。
工作許可證必須在到期日之前更新，否則將失效。

工作許可證申請人必須持非移民 B 簽證進入泰國。
若持旅遊簽證、過境簽證或免簽證入境，必須將簽證類型改為非移民 B 簽證。
此外，持非移民 B 簽證進入泰國的外國人如果與泰國女性結婚，也將有資格申請工作許可證。

Procedures

The Act requires that any foreigner working in Thailand must obtain a work permit before beginning work.
Section 11 of the Act stipulates that while a prospective employer may file an application on behalf of the foreigner in advance of his commencing work, the actual work permit will not be issued until the foreigner has entered into Thailand in accordance with the immigration laws and has presented him or herself to receive the work permit.

For a regular position, a work permit will be issued for one year, but for an executive position or experts, a work permit will be issued for two years.
A work permit must be renewed before its expiry date or it will lapse.

Applicants for work permits must enter into Thailand with Non–immigrant B visa.
If they enter with a tourist visa or transit visa or visa waiver, they must change the type of visa to be Non–immigrant B visa. Furthermore, a foreigner who enters into Thailand with a Non–immigrant B visa will also qualify to apply for a work permit, if he marries a Thai woman.

• On the application form, the “job description” entry must be completed with a detailed statement as to what job is expected to be performed, how it is related to other people, and what materials will be used in the work (additional paper to be used if necessary).
• If the job applied for is subject to a license under a particular law, in addition to the Foreign Working Act, a photocopy of such license, (e.g. teacher’s license, physician’s license, press card from the Public Relations Department, certificate of missionary status from the Office of Religious Affairs, etc.) shall be attached.

允許的活動

• 先前的法律，即1978年《外國人工作法》，禁止雇主允許外國人履行外國人工作許可證中規定的職責以外的任何職責。
  雇主必須在採取任何此類行動後 15 天內報告其組織中所有外國人的僱用、調動和終止的變化。
  在被解僱的情況下，外國人必須將其工作許可證歸還給曼谷勞工當局的外國人職業部門，或者如果他們在省份地區，則歸還給該省的就​​業部門。否則將被處以最高 1,000 泰銖的罰款。
• 然而，根據2008年《外籍工作法》，法律並沒有強制雇主歸還其外籍員工的工作許可證，但如果雇主或外籍員工希望歸還工作許可證，勞動部門將獲得工作許可證並記錄終止日期。
• 任何沒有工作許可證而從事工作的外國人可能會被處以不超過五年的監禁或 2,000 泰銖至 100,000 泰銖的罰款，或兩者併罰。
  如果違反許可證規定的工作條件，外國人可能會被處以不超過 20,000 泰銖的罰款。
• 允許外國人在沒有工作許可證的情況下在其組織中工作的雇主可能會被處以每名外國僱員 10,000 泰銖至 100,000 泰銖的罰款。
  雇主允許外國人從事違反工作許可證規定的工作性質的行為，可處以不超過 10,000 泰銖的罰款。
• 許可證持有者必須事先獲得許可才能改變其職業和/或工作地點。雇主地點或許可證持有者居住地址的變更必須由勞動部門在工作許可證中適當簽署。《外國工作法》並不阻止外國人在多個領域或為多個雇主從事工作。

Permitted Activities

The former law, Foreign Working Act of 1978, prohibited the employers from allowing foreigners to perform any function other than that described in the foreigner’s work permit. The employers must report changes in employment, transfers and termination of all foreigners in their organization within 15 days of any such action. In cases of dismissal, the foreigners must return their work permits to labor authorities in Bangkok at the Alien Occupation division or, if they are in a provincial area, to the province’s Department of Employment. Failure to do so will result in a fine of up to 1,000 Baht.

However, according to the Foreign Working Act of 2008, the law does not force the employers to return a work permit of their foreign employees, but if the employers or foreign employees wish to return a work permit, the labor authorities will receive a work permit and record the termination date.

Any foreigner engaging in work without a work permit may be punished by a term of imprisonment not exceeding five years or a fine from 2,000 Baht up to 100,000 Baht, or both. In case of violation of the conditions of his work as stipulated in his permit, the foreigner may be punished by a fine of not exceeding 20,000 Baht.

An employer who permits a foreigner to work in his organization without a work permit may be punished with a fine from 10,000 Baht up to 100,000 Baht for each foreign employee. An employer who permits a foreigner to act in violation of the nature of the work specified in the work permit may be punished with a fined not exceeding 10,000 Baht.

Permit holders must obtain prior permission to change their occupation and/or place of work. Change of employer location or the residential address of the permit holder must be properly endorsed in the work permit by the labor authorities. The Foreign Working Act does not prevent a foreigner from engaging in work in more than one field or for more than one employer.

Visas and Immigration Law

All persons, other than those in transit and citizens of certain countries, are required to obtain a visa in order to enter into Thailand. Foreign nationals who intend to remain in Thailand to work or conduct business must comply with visa requirements in addition to obtaining a work permit.

Visa Categories

 The Immigration Act of 1979 as amended in 1980 establishes the following visa categories:

• Tourist
• Visitor transit
•  Immigrant
• Non-quota immigrant
• Non-immigrant

Note: Transit, visitor transit and tourist visa holders are not authorized to work in Thailand.

Tourist:
Tourist visas are initially valid for 60 days and are renewable at the discretion of the Immigration Department. Renewals are normally granted for periods up to 30 days at a time.

Visitor Transit:
Foreigners who have obtained a transit visa from a Thai Embassy or consulate will be granted a 30-day stay in the Kingdom. Extensions of stay are normally granted for periods of 30 days at a time, but the total stay may not exceed 90 days from the date of entering into Thailand.
In addition, passport holders from 48 countries and 1 special administrative region – Hong Kong SAR – are not required to obtain a visa when entering Thailand for tourism purposes and will be permitted to stay in the Kingdom for a period of not exceeding 30 days on each visit. If such foreigners enter the Kingdom at the immigration checkpoints which border neighboring countries, they will be allowed to stay for 15 days each time, except Malaysian nationals who cross the borderline from Malaysia whose granted period of stay will not exceed 30 days each time.
Please note that Tourist Visa Exemption does not apply to foreigners holding a Travel Document for Aliens issued by these countries.
Foreigners entering Thailand under the Tourist Visa Exemption category must possess adequate finances for the duration of stay in Thailand (i.e., cash 10,000 Baht per person and 20,000 Baht per family).

Non-quota immigrant:
This category includes former residents who have lost their resident status but who have reapplied to resume their residency and who have been able to demonstrate a convincing reason to support the granting of this type of visa.

Non-Immigrant Visa:
Foreigners, who seek a prolonged stay, or those coming to work in Thailand, should obtain non-immigrant visas for all family members prior to entering into the Kingdom. This visa has several categories:

• Diplomatic visa (D) for those employed by an embassy;
• Business visa (B) for those conducting business in the Kingdom;
• Mass media visa (M) for accredited business or press representatives;
• Expert visa (EX) for those performing skilled or expert work;
• Investor visa (IM) for those who set up their companies under the BOI;
• Study/education visa (ED) for teachers and those here to study/observe;
• Official visas (F) for those performing official duties involving the Thai government;
• Missionary visa (R) for those performing missionary work;
• Science visa (RS) for those doing scientific research or training, or studying in an educational institution in the Kingdom;
• Sports visa (S) for those participating in an officially recognized sports event;
• Dependent visa (O) for those who are here as dependents.

非移民簽證的優點包括：

• 持有人有權向曼谷移民局申請多次多次入境泰國簽證；
• 根據移民局的規定，持有人有權申請在泰國永久居留；
• 向持有人頒發工作許可證的資格（僅限B類和O類（僅限與泰國國民結婚的外國人）；
• 在處理長期年度簽證簽發時獲得臨時簽證續簽的資格。

建議外國人嚴格遵守每個簽證類別的規定。他們應在 24 小時內向當地警方報告地址或身分的任何變更。

此外，在泰國連續居住超過90天的外國人需要每90天向移民局通報一次地址。這項要求適用於所有外國人，包括工作許可證和長期簽證持有者。否則，外國人將被處以不超過 5,000 泰銖的罰款，並在遵守法律之前每天附加不超過 200 泰銖的罰款。

過境簽證、訪客過境簽證、旅遊簽證和非移民簽證僅針對以下目的和期限簽發：

如果離開該國，外國人必須申請再入境簽證才能以其當前的非移民簽證進入泰國。

• 在非移民簽證到期日之前離開和重新進入泰國一次的單次再入境簽證費用為 1,000 泰銖。
• 在非移民簽證到期日之前多次離開和重新進入泰國的多次入境簽證費用為 3,800 泰銖。

針對投資者的回饋，BOI協調建立了簽證和工作許可一站式服務中心。透過與移民局和勞動部的聯合合作，該中心在收到適當和完整的文件後，可以在3小時內處理簽證和工作許可證的申請或續約。

此外，該中心還處理其他事務，包括簽發多次再入境印章、更改簽證類別（從旅遊或過境變為非移民）以及繳納罰款。

一站式服務中心位於 18th Floor, Chamchuri Square Building, Phayatai Road, Pathumwan, Bangkok 10330，可致電 0-2209-1100 聯絡。

當個人申請更新工作許可證時，他或她必須證明已繳納上一年的稅金。

外國人也可以在某些條件下申請泰國永久居留許可，例如投資企業或公寓。可以向入境事務處提出申請。

外交或領事使團成員、經泰國政府批准來泰國履行職責的外國人、根據泰國政府與外國政府之間的協議在泰國履行職責的外國人、在泰國開展活動的國際組織或機構的負責人泰國以及所有上述人員的家屬，包括外交使團成員的私人僕人，根據該法案免除正常簽證要求。

• Eligibility for temporary visa renewal while processing issuance of a long-term annual visa.

Foreigners are advised to strictly adhere to the rules governing each visa category. They should report any changes of address or status to local police within 24 hours.

In addition, foreigners residing in Thailand for more than 90 consecutive days are required to notify their address with the Immigration Bureau every 90 days. This requirement applies to all foreigners, including holders of work permits and long-term visas. Failure to do so, the foreigner shall be punished with a fine not exceeding 5,000 Baht and with an additional fine not exceeding 200 Baht per each day passing until the law is complied with.

In response to feedback from investors, the BOI coordinated the establishment of a One-Stop Service Center for Visas and Work Permits. Through joint cooperation with the Immigration Bureau and the Ministry of Labor, the center can process applications or renewals of visas and work permits within 3 hours, upon receipt of proper and complete documentation.

In addition, the center handles other transactions, including the issuance of multiple re-entry stamps, changes in class of visa (to non-immigrant from tourist or transit), and payment of fines.
