All Labor offices say 7 days. You waited far to long and it has nothing to do with paying money under the table.

I have had 3 going on 4 work permits, 6 to 7 days was the longest wait. I understand yours may have been more complicated running your own business. It was probably your accountant who delayed things, by maybe not having all the correct paperwork.... Always put the blame on someone else.

No you are misinformed - 4 months delay is quite common at Phuket Labour, in part since the Head of Department is only in the office for less than one day per week!

I know of WP application cases that took up to 8 months and some that are still running after more than one year here!

The situation is excacerbated by the large number of (now) legal Burmese workers who also have Work Permit Applications in process.

My Labour Department agents tell me that K. Noppadom (Head of Department) currently has a huge pile of WP applications sitting on his desk waiting for signature.

Familiar story re the long, long delays at Phuket Labour.

Also please be careful if you plan to go to Penang, as currently:

1) For a 90 day Single Non B Penang say that they wil no longer accept a WP3 Receipt alone and are now also asking for a 'Letter of Approval' fron Labour as well; this takes at least a week to obtain in Phuket as the Head of Department (K.Noppadom), who must sign the letter, is only in Phuket for less than one day per week.
2) Penang will only issue a One Year Multi Entry non immigrant Type 'B' Visa if your company has > 8 Million THB Capitalisation.

What holiday is May 28th?

The last Monday in May (28th) is a Bank Holiday in the UK (Spring Bank Holiday) - so the Thai Embassy will be closed for sure and also probably the UK Thai Consulates.

The OP stated that the 28th was a holiday in Thailand. What holiday would that be?

No Thai Holiday on the 28th May according to my Thai Bank Calender and Wiki.

U.K. bank holiday.....o.k. that explains it.
Also be aware that Vesak Day on 4 June is a Buddhist holiday in Thailand and listed as a Thai public holiday....expect the Thai Embassy and consulates to be closed that day also.

28th May not a UK holiday this year, it is defered to 4th June to make a 4 day weekend for the Queens jubilee (5th june also a uk bank holiday this year)

Thanks - haven't been in the UK for some time - didn't know about the date move Posted Image
