One of my Thai friends owns a very small school here in Thailand. She tells me it is registered with the Government as a school. It's got about 5 rooms and mostly does after school classes for students in international schools. She has about 5 teachers that she employs at any given time. She is trying to get a work permit for one of her teachers, but isn't sure how to go about it.

I mentioned I see on this forum people talking about the cost of getting a work permit, the papers required, etc. I wanted to ask for her to see if anyone could point me in the right direction. Particularly:

1. Would she be eligible to apply for a work permit for her teachers since it's a small operation?

2. Is there any links anyone could provide to the paperwork she would need to fill out to get the process started?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The WP1 work permit application form has a list of what is needed to get a work permit.

Pages 3 and 4 are for teaching. http://wp.doe.go.th/wp/images/form/Form_tt1.pdf

Then there are all the application forms.

Thank you!
