Good afternoon everyone!

Does anybody knows Time Frame for approval of the Work Permit (WP3) in Bangkok? I read many places is 7 working days, It can be less? HR says is way less than that, and I need to Buy the ticket to BKK, but no sure now.. Thank you for the Help!

Answer summary

The approval time for a Work Permit (WP3) in Bangkok is commonly cited as 7 working days, but it can vary based on the completeness of the application and company compliance. If all documents are submitted correctly, companies receive a receipt indicating that the application is processed.

if your company hand in all the documents to apply for the Work Permit correctly, they will get the receipt that the application is done directly.

I did see it in 2 days, 1 week, 2 weeks and longer. It depends on how busy the Ministry of Labor is.

So sorry for my bad explanation.

Thats right, Im talking about the process.

I wanna double check, according to many sites, that the "Frame Period" since the Company applies for the WP3, until is Approved by the Labor Department, is 7 working days....

For other hand. my company, says it can be approved in 2 or 3 days, tops... is this accurated?
