My book keeper has informed me that I am requiter to apply for a NEW Work permit. She tells me that they will no longer renew work permits over 10 years old.

 

I am also told that if the work permit includes more than one job description I have to pay Income tax on each listed job.

 

I have had a work permit continuously since 1993 here in Thailand, A new book was stapled to my old work permit book 2 renewals ago. I was told that be sure and not loose the old work permit book as they can not find my past records (I have copies).

 

So is this now the law a work permit over 10 years old can not be renewed and you must apply for a new one!

 

My company is a Thai American Amity Treaty registered company in business since 1992 here in "The Kingdom"

What makes you think you don't have to pay income tax for certain jobs (when you are earning more than the threshold)?

I am paying tax on my income as required by Thai Law, plus Social Insurance and rental tax, over 10,000 a month.

I have no tax problems just the requirement to get a new Work Permit when nothing has changed.

 

I just need to know if it is a law to have a new work permit reissued every 10 years.

 

Especially when I have had mine renewed every year like clock work.

I don't understand this then:

"if the work permit includes more than one job description I have to pay Income tax on each listed job." 

Afaik this is no law. I certainly hope so, it would mean I have to get a new EP myself.
