How to apply WP3 when I am not in Thailand?

[Urban]

I am applying for Non-immigrant visa B and received a feedback from Thai Embassy that they need a 'Approval letter from Ministry of Labor (WP3)?

From the embassy website, i found this address :Office of Foreign Workers Administration, Department of Employment, Ministry of Labour, Mit-Maitree Road, Din-daeng District, Bangkok, Tel: +662-245-2745, website: http://wp.doe.go.th

Tried to go website: http://wp.doe.go.th but keep having error message. website: http://wp.doe.go.th

 

How do I proceed on? 

 

Thank you in advance.

Have you got letter from employer stating that they are offering you a job,I thought this was enough,interesting as I’m going to be doing this next month.

Yes, I have submitted all relevant document including the employment letter.

Your future employer has to apply for a work permit by submitting the WP3 application form.

Edit: They can download it here.

hi, What if my employer is registered as BOI company? Do I still need to apply WP3 before entering the country?

Most embassies and consulates will accept a letter from the BOI instead or a WP3.

Wow great!! That was what my employer explained to me. Do you happen to know if the embassy in Singapore is likely to accept it?

Yes they do. See: http://www.thaiembassy.sg/visa-matters-/-consular/visa-requirements/non-immigrant-visa-b

You have to apply online for the visa there.
