Unhappy Work Permit(s)

Foreigners in Phuket is having a hard time with Work Permit renewals at the moment.

The last year more and more additional papers are required every time when you do a work permit renewal. My work permit is currently pending because they wanted some more papers (I submitted my application in March and they said everything was ok) but when I come back few weeks later it was not finished yet. Now they told me they want social welfare papers for the staff, so I have to take care of this. (This was not required when I submitted my application.)

Not long time ago Phuket Governor declared they will do a crackdown on diving companies and diving masters with work permt. The reason is that they want the diving companies to employ Thai people to work as dive masters.

Update!

Great news

There are changes in the work permit rules from Bangkok and with the changes, Phuket will not held any more committee meetings to deny applications.

If everything is correct in your application form you will now get work permit.

And from the Governor's letter inside Phuket Gazette:

"Anyway, the newspapers can no longer complain to me, asking me why we have so many foreigners working here, taking jobs from Thais."

This says a lot about their attitude regarding foreigners
