Hi !

Already got my non-immigrant b visa and just would like to know how long I have to wait in Thailand to get/receive my work permit? ( how many days at least?)

And what kind of documents do I have to bring for the permit?

(besides the "medical certificate/report")

Thanx

At the Bangkok WP Office, once your application is accepted, the current turn-around time is 11 days (this varies from time to time - between about seven and fourteen days).

The list of documents needed is fairly long - some from you, most from your employer. Several of them are forms created by the Labor Ministry. If you're trying to stumble through the process on your own, well .... good luck.

Cheers!
