Work Permit Requirements

[lujanit]

I have received my Non B and am now assembling the necessary documentation for a Work Permit. In the BIO-data form FFRNIO3 items 11 and 12 relate to qualifications (11) and experience (12). A footnote states that "Please attached the supporting documents for item 11 and 12 as much as possible" (actual words!). The CEO of the Company I will be working for has told me that in the absence of documentation from previous employers I must have my CV notarized by my embassy. However my educational qualifications need no such notarization; they only need to be signed by my employer.

Has anyone come across such a requirement regarding previous employment before? Is the advice my employer has been given correct?

TIA

I haven't been through this but it makes no sense to notarize a CV. But apparently the Thai officials somehow think notarizing is some kind of magic that makes all documents better (same thing with their requirement to notarize medical and police certificates). Notarizing is for two things: to confirm the identity of a person who signs a document, and to confirm that a copy of a document is a true copy of the original. Some posters say they just make something up like add a statement of their own that they sign, and then get a notary to confirm their identity, which satisfies the official.

Thank you for the reply and the advice. I have been in touch with my Embassy and they say that they will not notarize a CV, however they will witness my signature on a Declaration stating that the attached document is a true and correct copy. They will then bind the two together as one document. Of course there is a fee involved. I was hoping to by-pass this but alas no.

Normally all the government wants when they use that term is that you sign the copy (as you do in the office for extensions of stay).

Never heard of this one before......just signing the CV should be adequate
