No more “blue book” for (BOI) work permits. It’s now an online app you access with a unique personal logon.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The traditional 'blue book' for BOI work permits in Thailand has been replaced by a digital application accessible through a unique personal login. This transition allows for online management of work permits, enhancing tracking capabilities. Comments discuss the registration process for the app, experiences using it, and emphasize the importance of having printed copies for interactions with government agencies.

It's been in use for a year or so. Works ok, but it's good to have a printed copy at hand when visiting banks, tax agency or some other government agency. The employer can print a PDF copy from the online system.

Courtesy of Google Play: Thailand Digital Work Permit (D-WP) Application is only for Work Permit Holder under section 12 (BOI), a foreigner is worked for a company which obtains Promotional Privileges from BOI (Board of Investment, Thailand). This application would be convenience for a work permit holder under section 12 to keep his/her information of work permit instead of card or book and it would provide a work permit holder by showing his/her profile and work permit history in Thailand.

what has immigration to do with a work permit application? I am lost...

you cannot register. You need to download the app on your phone and once the work permit has been approved, you will get a user id and password.

After visiting immigration office and applying new WP, immigration will send you the e-mail (as shown above) within the hour.

Okay, but how did you register? I have it on Android and it replies "Username and Password cannot be null" when I click to register.

Presumably if you've had a blue book for 14 years you continue with it until it's full?
