ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone! I heard from my new school that the Foreign workers administration stopped issue the WP3 due to the COVID-19, and without that document, I can not apply for a work visa (I'm out of Thailand now). Does anyone have any idea about this? Any school got this doc recently? When do you think they will resume the application?

Thank you ka!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The Foreign Workers Administration has halted the issuance of WP3 documents due to COVID-19, which affects the ability to apply for work visas from outside Thailand. There are ongoing discussions in the community regarding how this impacts applicants who are currently outside the country.
