If lost a Work Permit or is damaged, what to do?

Aliens who are going to work in Thailand must have a Work Permit. When knowing that the Work Permit is lost or damaged, it must be done by following the procedures of the Department of Employment. The Wonderful Package would like to recommend the information and procedures to request a replacement license.

The Work Permit is important for aliens working in Thailand because it is a document that specifies the term of work responsibility, period of work, and basic information of workers such as which company do you work for? What is your job description? Where are you staying?

If working without the Work Permit, it is illegal. Thus, when knowing that the Work Permit is lost or damaged, you must hurry to apply for a new work permit within 15 days from the date you know.

The supplements documents to request for Work Permit substitution are 2 cases as follows.
