Business, employment and permission to work

At a glance

• Check the immigration route and work authorisation separately.
• Verify the employer or company through official records.
• Use Department of Employment, BOI and DBD starting points.

Who this may suit

Immigration status and permission to work are related but separate legal questions.

What this route does not allow

• A Non-B visa or company ownership does not automatically authorise work.
• ThaiYinda cannot decide whether an activity counts as work.

Before you apply

• Never pay someone to sell a job or sponsorship.
• Get written terms and confirm the authorised role before starting activity.

Documents commonly requested

Identity, purpose, funding, accommodation, relationship, sponsor or onward-travel evidence may be requested depending on the route. Use the live official checklist rather than treating this as a mandatory list.

After arrival or next steps

Keep the decision, passport or digital-status records, check the permission actually granted and follow every reporting, extension or account instruction that applies.
