How is a Lao passport related to a work permit in Thailand?

For Lao migrant workers working in Thailand, a passport is not just a travel document but the basis of all status — the work permit and the right to reside in the Kingdom are tied to a valid passport. If the passport expires first, other matters will be affected in sequence.

What must the employer do when an employee changes their passport?

Changing the passport does not end with the migrant worker. Both the employer and the migrant worker have a legal duty to report it.

• Update information across all systems — the new passport number must match the work permit and the registrar's records. Otherwise, there will be an immediate issue when contacting government agencies next time.
• The employer has a duty to notify the registrar within 15 days from the date of employment and within 15 days from the date the migrant worker leaves employment (Section 13). Failure to notify carries a fine not exceeding 20,000 baht (Section 103).
• The migrant worker themselves must also notify the employer's name, workplace, and main type of work within 15 days from the date of starting work, and every time the employer changes (Section 64/2). Failure to notify carries a fine not exceeding 20,000 baht (Section 119/1).
• Don't forget the 90-day report — this is separate from the work permit and is counted from the last date of entry into the country.

Contact the Lao Embassy in Thailand

Before traveling to the embassy or consulate, always call to check operating hours and required documents for that day — this information can change according to announcements, holidays in both countries, and periods of high demand. Traveling without calling first is the number one reason people waste a day.

If you are unable to go yourself, or are unsure what documents your case requires, Exworker can help check and process it on your behalf, including coordinating work permit matters to ensure continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions

If the passport has expired, can the work permit still be used?

In practice, work cannot continue because the right to reside in the Kingdom is based on a valid travel document. The safe approach is to start the renewal process before the passport expires, not after.

After changing to a new passport, do I need to get a new work permit?

Not entirely new, but the information must be updated to match, and the registrar must be notified as legally required.

Can the employer take me to get it done?

Making a passport is a matter between the migrant worker and the Lao authorities. The employer can facilitate, but cannot sign on their behalf.
