Work Permit Reminder Service
Get free email reminders before your work permit expires in Thailand. Missing the date can lead to fines, immigration problems, or rushed extensions. Set the date once and we'll remind you.
What is a Work Permit?
A work permit is the official document that lets foreigners work legally in Thailand. It is issued by the Department of Employment and must match the type of work you do. Most expats and foreign staff need one to stay compliant with Thai labor law.
What this free service does
Thai Visa Reminder sends you free email alerts before your work permit expires. Just enter the date once and we will notify you in advance so you can renew or extend on time.
Why the date matters
Missing your work permit expiration can lead to fines, immigration trouble, or even being asked to leave Thailand. A late renewal often means rushed paperwork, extra trips to government offices, and stress. Staying on top of the date keeps everything smooth and legal.
Which date to enter
Enter the work permit expiration date printed on your work permit. This is the main date that controls when you must renew or extend.
What to take when you go
- Original work permit and copies
- Passport with current visa and copies of relevant pages
- Recent passport-sized photos (quantity and size can vary)
- Completed application form (e.g., WP.5)
- Medical certificate from a Thai hospital
- Copies of company documents (provided by your employer)
- Copies of recent personal income tax filings (PND.1), if applicable
This list is a general guide. Your employer is responsible for providing the correct documents. Rules change often, so always confirm the latest requirements with your employer or a legal professional.

Work permits are issued by the Department of Employment (not Immigration). Your visa permission to stay is separate — track both dates.
