Khun_Kong Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Tried several different search strings, but cannot (re)locate any information on this. My employer is starting to become adamant that THEY keep my work permit, for "safekeeping" and for "my convenience". Seems to me that it is mine and is my responsibility. I.e., they "lose" it, I pay. I quit, delay in getting it back to labor, I pay, I need it for something (banking/phone/car/licensecredit/etc.), pain in the neck for me to have to borrow my wp back from them. Anybody got the skinny or some experience in this? TIA Posted at ThaiVisa forum, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whosyourdaddy Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Work Permit Page 31 " 1. A permit holder must keep the permit with him or (her) at the place of work during working hours in order it may be readily shown to the competent official or the registrar. Any violation thereof shall be liable to a fine not exceeding one thousand bhat. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadStockBroker Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 I agree with WYD here. You should keep the WP in your place of work. Usually HR will keep it but they should allow you to have a photo copy. Don't forget that a WP is actually permission from the thai gov to a thai company to employ a non-thai. It is not permission for you to work in thailand. Thus the WP is not "yours". That's why if you change employer you need to apply for a new permit.
