Working in a representative or regional office — what should you know about occupations reserved for Thai nationals?

The point raised here is “Working in a representative or regional office”, so it covers both the requirements attached to this document set and the order the steps must follow. Once the set is complete, check it line by line against the destination's own checklist before filing. Record the reference number of each certification layer; it is the fastest way to trace status. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. The point to fix before starting is the real deadline, so the steps can be scheduled backwards from it. The deciding factor is the receiving body's requirement, not only the format of the Thai-side document. The terms that frame this page are Working · representative · regional · office. When several certification layers are required, start with the slowest one. If multiple certified sets are needed, order them all in the first round to avoid re-queuing. Before starting, ask in advance which category of certified translator the destination accepts, then plan the timeline so certification finishes before the real filing deadline, then keep a digital copy of every page, including seals and signatures. Some occupations are reserved for Thai nationals under royal decrees and announcements issued under the Royal Decree; the prohibited and conditional lists are revised from time to time, so the list in force on the filing date must be checked. Work by foreign nationals in Thailand is governed by the Royal Decree on Managing the Work of Aliens B.E. 2560 (2017) as amended by Decree No. 2 B.E. 2561 (2018); work permits are issued by the Department of Employment, Ministry of Labour. ILC handles the document side only — certified translation, notarial signature certification and legalisation runs at the Department of Consular Affairs or an embassy. ILC is not the deciding authority and cannot guarantee an approval. Cost and lead time depend on page count, language pair and the certification steps the receiving authority requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
