IMPACT – HIGH
What is the change? As a fraud-prevention measure, Thailand has imposed stricter certification rules for numerous documents that are required in work permit applications at the One-Stop Service Center.
What does the change mean? Applicants must obtain certification of each document by the appropriate agency, adding time, expense and delays to the process.
Background: Under the new rules which take effect Jan. 19, Thailand’s One-Stop Service Center will no longer accept originals of the documents listed below. Instead, the agency that issues each document must certify it.
BAL Analysis: Employers should anticipate delays as it may take time to obtain certification from each government agency. Clients are encouraged to work with their BAL attorney as soon as possible to plan for the additional time, expense and inconvenience involved in meeting these new certification requirements.
