IMPACT – HIGH
What is the change? Thai officials no longer require medical certificates from work permit applicants for companies under the Board of Investment (BOI), Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) or Department of Mineral Fuels (DMF).
Background: In August, Thailand began requiring work permit applicants under BOI, IEAT or DMF to submit a medical certificate to support their work permit applications. Previously, these applicants were exempt from this requirement. The Employment Department has reversed this policy again and will no longer require the medical certificate for work permit applications for companies under BOI, IEAT or DMF.
Analysis & Comments: The change will ease the application process for companies under BOI, IEAT or DMF. All other applicants will still be required to obtain and provide medical certificates when applying for new work permits and work permit renewals.
