BANGKOK, 23 November 2018 (NNT) - The Minister of Labor (MOL) will open more One Stop Service Centers (OSSC) for Visas and Work Permits in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). 

Labor Minister Adul Saengsingkeo disclosed that the MOL’s Department of Employment (DOE) has cooperated with the Office of the Board of Investment (BOI) and the Immigration Bureau to implement the Single Window project. 

With the new Single Window for Visa and Work Permit System, the foreign national employees will receive digital work permits instead of the hardcopy work permit booklets currently issued. 

It allows foreign employees of BOI-promoted companies to apply for their visas and work permits through a one-time online application. The expatriate employee will have to use a smartphone or other electronic device to register and download their Digital Work Permit from the DOE. Any change in an employee’s work status will automatically be updated and shown on their Digital Work Permit.

Credit where it is due. This actually makes sense. I don't know what to say I'm shocked

One step forward, dozens of steps backwards.  BOI replaced IHQ's (international headquarters) with a new promotion category last month (IBC, international business center).  Tax incentives were slightly changed.  Now, BOI is accepting no promotion applications because they haven't figured out how to administer the new regulations.  Other government agencies don't understand how to deal with digital work permits. While its good to get more OSSC's into the industrial estates, they need to get their act together before spreading more madness.
