What documents are needed to hire a Myanmar worker in Thailand who has lost his passport?
Hi everyone, I hope you can help me understand. I have a company and I would like to hire a boy from Myanmar. What documents do I have to give him to request VISA and work permit? He lost his passport and will get it back around April. Can he start working for me or will I have problems?
Thanks 🙏
Thanks 🙏

Regarding lost passport, he will need to apply a new one which will take longer than normal (before coup) as he will need to get queue number and wait for it.
Visa and work permit : If you offer him White Collar job, he will need to have a bachelor degree.
There is Non LA visa + work permit for blue collar worker which attached together with Pink Card. This kind of visa is aspecially for neighbor country such as Myanmar, Lao, Cambodia.

find an agent to assist you
Of if uir in phuket, ( am sure other places have them but i know Phuket) visit the local labor office , they have all the info u need to hire a migrant laborer.

I believe it's a different "work permit" system for Burmese, Loa, Cambodian etc. Not the same as us Falang. Also due to the ongoing issues in Myanmar there is a back log for passports and such so there is actually an "amnesty" in place, but he should be up to speed with this I would have thought.

Everything about it is a problem. Please seek legal counsel. 1st he needs a passport unless you're going to pay him cash under the table against the law. This would put you, your company, and partners at risk.
Secondly what kind of job is this because the work permit system is in place to encourage companies to hire thai nationals. If it's a job a thai can easily do there is a high chance it won't even get approved.

2nd paragraph 100% incorrectFirst NEEDS passport which at the moment are NOT easy for Burmese>
Than i suggest u use an agent that works with migrant workers
He needs a migrant Non L-A visa, which allows him a wp and thai health card
I just paid fees for a khmer ( 6,500 baht) for Visa extension, wp an health card renewal<
fees are much lower this year
Thailand needs migrant labor and no restrictions unlike a regular Non B visa
if ur in Phuket i can suggest an agent, DM me
