There are many rules for foreign workers who come to work in Thailand, but at the same time, there are regulations that the employer must follow, as well, regardless of whether the employee is entering or leaving the job.
When any person hires a foreigner to work, he or she must notify the registrar of the name and nationality of the foreigner and the nature of the work that will be done within 15 days from the date of employment.
When a foreign worker leaves the work, the registrar must be notified within 15 days from the date the foreign worker leaves, together with the worker’s reason for leaving. An employer who fails to comply will be fined not more than 20,000 baht per foreigner.
As for employers who brings foreigners to work by themselves, without informing the registrar about the number of foreigners, the work that the foreigners will do, or the names and passport numbers of the foreigners, they will be fined not more than 100,000 baht. In the event that the employer fails to show the employment contract when the officer asks to inspect it, they will be fined not more than 5,000 baht.
