How do I prepare corporate tax filings for an annual work-permit renewal, and how long does it take?
Degrees and experience letters issued abroad must first be certified in the issuing country (notary/Apostille or the Thai embassy there), then translated into Thai and legalised at the Department of Consular Affairs before the Department of Employment will accept them.
When preparing document files of this kind, degrees and experience letters issued abroad must first be certified in the issuing country (notary/Apostille or the Thai embassy there), then translated into Thai and legalised at the Department of Consular Affairs before the Department of Employment will accept them. The order cannot be swapped, and getting it wrong is the most common cause of a returned file. Call 094-895-8999 if the deadline is tight — our team will check the current queue and estimate timing before work starts, without promising a delivery date.
