The time it takes to obtain a work permit in Thailand can vary significantly. Based on community experiences, it generally takes between 1 to 2 weeks, although some individuals have received their permits in as little as one day or within a few days. Factors such as location and the specific office handling the application can also influence processing time. Additionally, it's important to note that the work visa is issued to the employer, requiring an employer's sponsorship for the application.

I've had one in 3 days, 1 in a week and one that took nearly a whole month... like everything in thailand, it really depends on your location and the office being used.

The work visa is issued to the employer, not the employee. You have to find an employer to sponsor you.

In my past experiences it takes 1 to 2 weeks though it can be done in 1 day.
