Work Permit Wizard
Hiring a non-Thai helper? Let's make it legal.
Five quick questions, no signup. The wizard tells you whether starting the work permit process for your specific candidate is worth it — and exactly what to do next.
📋 The basic rule: In Thailand, every non-Thai worker needs a work permit — no exceptions, not even on a tourist, retirement, dependent or education visa. The only people who can work without a WP are Thai nationals. This wizard helps you decide whether the WP process is worth it for THIS candidate, given the cost, timeline, and how long you plan to employ them.

Where do you live in Thailand?
Your city affects which immigration office handles the paperwork and how long it usually takes.
