BOI Visa &
Work Permit
The Thai Board of Investment (BOI) offers companies many unique benefits and privileges, making applying for a BOI Promotion an attractive proposition. One of the most significant advantages is the reduced requirements for obtaining a Visa & Work Permit for foreign employees.
What are BOI Visas & Work Permits?
While every company in Thailand needs to obtain the correct Visa and Work Permit for their foreign employees, companies promoted by the BOI are not subject to the same requirements as other company structures. For example, BOI promoted companies are not restricted by the same mandatory capital and minimum Thai staff requirements.
Foreigners who are employed at a BOI promoted company can obtain their Visa and Work Permits from the One Stop Service Centre, as opposed to the Labour or Immigration offices respectively. The application and approval process is also far quicker and can be completed in a single day.
However, BOI companies must complete and have approved an online registration process which can be a confusing and time consuming process.

Questions fréquemment posées
What documents do I need in order to obtain a BOI Work Permit and Visa?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
How can I obtain a Visa & Work Permit?
A foreigner who is coming to Thailand in order to work will first need to obtain a Non-Immigrant B Visa before arrival. Normally, applications for Non-Immigrant B Visas are made at Thai Embassies or Consulates outside of Thailand. Please note, it is possible to apply inside Thailand as well.
Once the applicant has been granted a Non-Immigrant B Visa, the holder can enter Thailand and will be allowed to stay for an initial period of not more than 90 days.
Once they have entered Thailand, the employee must apply for a Work Permit. Holding a Non-Immigrant B Visa is not enough to work legally, a Work Permit must be obtained.
During the initial 90 day entry period, the employee must apply for a Visa extension. Visa extensions are granted for 1 year and can be renewed for a further year.
For BOI companies, the Visa extension and Work Permit application are submitted through the BOI E-Expert System and collected at the One Stop Service Centre for Visas and Work Permits.
What happens if I quit my job?
In the event of you leaving your job, you must surrender your work permit to the Labor Department no more than 10 days after leaving your position.
Can a foreigner start working after submitting an application for a work permit?
No, it is not possible to start working until a full work permit has been granted, unless the employee is working for a business promoted by the BOI (Board of investment).
