ubonjoe Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Any valid form of identification will normally be accepted accepted for domestic flights. It should not be a problem using your work permit. I find it unusual that immigration would have your passport any longer than overnight. I suspect an agent or your employer has it not immigration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I have experimented widely over the years (passport always in my bag as backup), I have successfully traveled domestic on:- Thai driving licence UK driving licence Delhi Metro ID card (Contractor) BTS ID card (Employee) BMCL ID (Consultant) Expired Belgium ID Expired (and barely readable) Italian tax ID Malaysian work permit card (I actually checked in KL - Phuket with this, still needed PP at outgoing immigration) Thales (Singapore) door key card. It seems that pretty much any official looking photo ID with your name matching (roughly) the booking will work. Despite having a half-decent photo my Korean SMRT (Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit) ID didn't work as my name didn't match the booking (it was in transliterated Korean). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently out for 90-Day. They don't get too excited since you have a window of days to report. Should get it back today or tomorrow. Cheers...

Time Traveller Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) I doubt you can use a work permit as ID for a flight - even if domestic. The work permit is essentially a typed up page with a physical picture covered in plastic film. It's the most low tech and least secure document you could get. Easily forgable or to remove and exchange the picture. I'd be very shocked if this was an acceptable form of ID to allow people on to planes. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Thailand is still 3rd world in that respect. Could it really be that easy for terrorists ?
