Hi again..We are currently filing all the documents needed for WP1. One of the requirements is the POWER OF ATTORNEY made by the applicant or the employer. If the applicant will file the WP1, the applicant needs to do the POWER OF ATTORNEY right? And i wonder where to find or buy the 10 baht duty stamps to be attached with the POWER OF ATTORNEY?thank you in advance..

Is there anyone who could help me about this 10 baht duty stamp for the POWER OF ATTORNEY?thanks

If the applicant files the application themselves there is no need for a power of attorney or tax stamps.

 

Do you speak good Thai? If you do not I suggest you take a Thai speaker with you. It will make things go a lot smoother. 

Duty stamps can be bought at the tax office, normally you will have a small office at the local amphur.

 

The OP is correct. For first time application of WP the employer needs to come along or sign a PoA with duty stamp. Don't forget a signed copy of the ID-card of the employer.

Why does the employer have to attend or sign a power of attorney?

 

The applicant is the work permit holder, not the employer.

 

It is just that normally the employer handles the submission on behalf of the foreigner, in which case the employer acts as the agent and is required to have a power of attorney signed by the employee in favour of them.

 

The only time anyone other than an agent has to appear is the first issuance of a work permit, where the applicant must appear to sign the first page of the work permit.
