Some foreigners to be allowed to apply for Thai visa and work permit online

The Board of Investment has partnered with the Immigration Bureau and the Employment Department to allow foreign investors in BoI-promoted businesses to apply online for their visa and work permit at the same time. 

 

The single window for such services will be piloted next month in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket before going nationwide next year.

Pretty sure this has existed in a similar form for quite some time. My company has been doing this for the two applications for me. Submit copies of documents online and get pre approved. Head to Chamchuri to handover the originals,  pick up my stamps and wp. In and out is less than an hour if you time things right.

Just curiosity, is your company under a Thai BOI (Board of Investment) scheme? Please ignore if that's a sensitive question.

 

Why? One professor I know mentioned recently he heard third hand that WP and visa renewals for some teachers / professors (not sure if it would apply to teachers, professors or both) would be on-line coming soon.

Wonder if the online fees include a kind of "digital" tea money...??...:sorry: for asking...;)

Your credit card number and cv number will do the rest they can get from your application.

If it's as effective as the other online services that are forever breaking down then it's an uphill struggle.

Is there a chance that you refer to the 90 day online report :biggrin:

It’s BOI. The teaching thing sounds like the whole 2 year extension of stays scheme that didn’t seem to materialize. It’s entirely possible that it did happen, but I’ve got loads of teaching friends here and none have received 2yr extensions.

Taking an outdated bureaucracy into the New Age of IT does not make the bureaucracy easier. 

Never understood how stupid a form can be. I - for one - before retirement, had to hold a board meeting with myself, take the minutes, approve the minutes myself which formed the basis to sign on the application of work permit extension that the company (i.e. me and myself) unanimously had agreed to hire myself for another year.
And, no, not once, frigging 21 years in a row. Not that I care as I give the almighty ones whatever they want. The best request - in the line of a work permit extension - was a full set of photocopies of my passport - to be legalized by my embassy. The embassy said clearly, if the Thai government (i.e. immigration and Don Muang) assumed the passport valid enough to let me into the country they would certainly not rubber-stamp photocopies of the same original - as they would not have the time and personnel for such idiocy!

But I cannot send the 5 photocopies of my passport that my office demands for 90 day report on it :saai: I see the latest buzz phrase here is the 'digital government', that must mean counting on their fingers, hardly anything online works, not even the cinema websites and most immigration sites are out of date.

When I did enter first time, I did not know there is a drop down menu for Nationality, if you enter by hand, the system hangs.
