They are urged to register as legal laborers under the special clemency initiative, which will grant them the right to live and work in Thailand until February 13, 2023. In light of the COVID-19 situation, the process is to be done completely online with registration to be done at Department of Employment website e-workpermit.doe.go.th, requiring only a current photograph and documentation of license payment.

Payment for licenses can be done at Counter Service branches and Krungthai Bank branches any time before September 13.

unblocktheplanet Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 If I read this correctly, Thailand wants these workers to PAY B9,180 for the privilege of working here! Perhaps their employers may pay but its those cheapskates who got us into this second wave mess to start with. Govt should be footing this bill IF they have any intention at all to keep our country Covid-safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
