Clarification on Work Permit Fees

The Myanmar Embassy in Thailand has officially denied claims that an 1,800-baht slip fee is required to apply for a two-year temporary work permit. This statement comes in response to misinformation circulating among workers regarding the costs associated with obtaining the permit.

Government Policy on Work Permits

Temporary Residence and Work Permit Announcement

The Thai government recently announced that individuals holding a passport or a Certificate of Identity (CI), commonly known as the Green Book, will be eligible for a two-year temporary residence and work permit in Thailand. The embassy emphasized that no fees would be collected by the Myanmar Embassy or its consulates for this process.

Key Points:

  • The embassy urges Myanmar workers to follow the guidance provided by relevant Thai authorities.
  • The announcement aims to clarify any confusion regarding fees associated with the work permit application.

Tax Collection Procedures Explained

Direct Payments to Authorized Institutions

Regarding the two percent tax collection, workers are instructed to pay this fee directly at Bangkok Bank or 7-Eleven convenience stores when exchanging their passports and CI books. The embassy clarified that these payments should only occur when renewing their documents.

Important Information:

  • Workers must show receipts when renewing their CI books.
  • The embassy is coordinating with Thailand’s Department of Labour to streamline this process.

Addressing Concerns About Additional Fees

Reports of High Charges by Workshops

There have been reports from some Myanmar workers indicating that certain workshops and workplaces in Thailand are charging nearly 10,000 baht for temporary work permits. The embassy’s clarification aims to alleviate these concerns and ensure that workers are not misled by unofficial fees.Community Feedback:

  • A source highlighted that many agencies and brokers are collecting slip fees, causing significant confusion among workers.
  • The embassy’s announcement is seen as a positive step toward transparency.

Ensuring Clarity for Myanmar Workers

The Myanmar Embassy in Thailand is committed to ensuring that its citizens are accurately informed about the processes involved in obtaining work permits. By clarifying the absence of an 1,800-baht fee and outlining proper procedures for tax payments, the embassy aims to protect Myanmar workers from exploitation and misinformation.As the temporary work permit system evolves, it remains crucial for workers to stay informed and follow official channels to avoid unnecessary costs.
