How does BOI/EEC fast-track differ from the standard process?

BOI-promoted companies and firms in EEC zones (Amata, WHA, Hemaraj) use One-Stop Service at Chamchuri Square — Work Permit issued in 7 days vs 10-14, plus eligibility for Smart Visa S/T/I/E/O.

Can my family come with me?

Yes. Spouse and biological/adopted children under 20 obtain Non-Immigrant 'O' Dependent visas (Immigration Act B.E. 2522) alongside the main Work Permit holder. Required: legalised marriage certificate, birth certificates, and Apostille or MFA attestation from the country of origin. Each dependent costs THB 1,900 visa fee + THB 1,900 extension; NYC bundles 4 dependents from THB 18,000.

Where do I get documents translated?

Documents must be translated by Ministry of Justice-registered translators (Royal Decree on Court Interpreters B.E. 2540) and certified by the MFA Legalisation Division (Chaeng Wattana). NYC handles both in-house through 6 court-licensed notarial attorneys within 1–2 business days from THB 800/page; MFA legalisation adds 2 business days at THB 800–1,000/document.

How do I change employer?

Cancel the existing WP first, then file a new one within 15 days — otherwise Non-B is auto-cancelled. NYC processes Cancellation + New WP in parallel.

Do I renew WP and Non-B together?

You must — Work Permit first, then a Non-B extension within 7 business days. NYC blocks paired appointments the same week.

Can a 6-month-old company renew?

Yes with at least 3 months of PP.30 filings, four Thai staff on SSO, and a trial balance showing preliminary profit.

The foreign CEO left — now what?

File WP.14 to cancel, then WP.3 for the replacement CEO with fresh THB 2M paid-up capital and 4:1 headcount.

What if the new WP is delayed past expiry?

Stop working immediately and request an 'Under Consideration' letter from DoE — this preserves the Non-B until the new book is issued.

Is the 6-month permit cheaper overall?

Government fees are THB 1,500 vs THB 3,000, but doubled service work makes the annual permit cheaper in practice.
