96tehtarp Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Is the work permit my property or my employers property. I paid 3,100 Baht for it. Also, my current work permit has expired. Does it still need to be cancelled before I get a new work permit with a different employer? FYI my extension of stay is completely separate from the WP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 A work permit belongs to you. It will need to be cancelled before a new work permit can be issued. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why Me Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I believe the blue book with the WP stamps is the employer's property. Might be wrong. But in my case when I quit I got an email from my org asking for it back which I then mailed to them. I guess they must have canceled it after. I never got it back and didn't see a reason to want it. I assumed that if I worked again, which I didn't, my new employers would issue another blue book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not correct. The labor ministry has confirmed that many times when employers were wanting to keep them. It belongs to the person whose name is in it. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Ray Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 My employer paid for my last work permit and had to take it to be cancelled when I left, but it was returned to me at my request afterwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natway09 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 It is supposed to be kept at your place of work or at least brought with you everytime you go there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they are the owners, it is kept by me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the company should pay for it, and your visa, as a foreign expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that it is your name in the book even though, as should be the case, the employer paid for it. See @ubonjoe's post. The Labour Department has made clear that the book is yours.
