Having a little debate with the local Labour Department.

We regularly apply for Work Permits for our employess.

In the little Booklet that the Labour Department publish as a guide to completing application for WP, it clearly states that supporting documents such as diplomas, etc., can be in English and do not need to be translated. However, our local Labour Department office insists on translationin Thai (much fun with transcripts).

I am interested in what other regular applicants for WP experience in Bangkok and other provinces in this regard.

never needed translation but this is Thailand.

Phuket Labour - No translation of non Thai certificates is required, but key areas of WP application forms with Employee Name, Company Name/Adress, Job Descriptions, etc, must be filled out in Thai.

No translation of Degrees or Diplomas for Korat, Roi-Et or Kalasin Labour Office, from my experience.
