TLDR : Answer Summary

The WP3 letter is necessary for obtaining a Non-B visa in Thailand. It is a document provided by the Ministry of Labor after applying for a work permit, and it must be submitted at the Department of Labor. This form is crucial in the visa application process, as it confirms the application status and outlines any additional documents required for the submission.

This form is the WP3 form that has to be filled out and handed in at the Department of Labour. Then you will get a document from them that states that you have applied for your workpermit and that form goes to the Thai Consulate.

It’s approval letter from ministry of labor instructing the request to submit additional documents within 30 days from the date mentioned on it. Which documents to submit are given in it too. Your company should know.

The WP3 form needed for application for Non Immigrant B visa is a form that you get from the Ministry of Labor after a successful application for a Work Permit is made.

If it is a WP.3 form, it is on the checklist (as well as other documents required) for obtaining a 90 day non B visa.

Mohsin Bhatti I cannot read thai. That is why I said if it is that form, it is needed. The employers lawyer in Thailand should know.
