Is there any minimum passport validity to apply a new work permit like 6 months, 12 moths, etc?

Answer summary

There is no specific minimum passport validity required to apply for a work permit in Thailand. However, the duration of the work permit may be limited to the validity of your passport.

No, but your work permit will be the length of your passport I think.

Thanks for the answers.

I applied a few months ago when my passport still had 9 months of validity.

I got work permit for a year but 9 months for visa.

That was when my passport still had 9 months of validity. Wondering if it's still possible to apply with less than 6 months.

certainly is for BOI companies, doubt it would change for non-BOI.
