scottiejohn Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I understood that the max length of a WP was two years, but normally one year. A friend from the UK is adamant that he is being offered a three year work permit, in addition to the three year contract as a Chef in a hotel in Thailand. Could this be true?

ubonjoe Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 The maximum length of time a work permit can be issued for is 2 years according to section 21 of the the working aliens act of 2008.

BritTim Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Seems likely to be a misunderstanding. I suspect the employer is simply guaranteeing to sponsor your friend for work permits for three years, not that it can be done without renewals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midasthailand Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 My agent recently told me that the 4 year WP was currently under consideration. Just got a 2 year myself for my BOI company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottiejohn Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Thanks folks, that is my understanding of the situation. 1 or 2 years with renewals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtrump Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Mine was issued in July 2015 until Dec 2015 of that year but on the next page was a 2 year stamp extending to Dec 2017. This was all done at one time, so I got a 2.5 year. Very strange. My company takes care of every thing. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natway09 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I did once get a 3 year work permit but last two have only been 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
