Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the pink card (migrant worker ID) valid?
The card's validity is tied to the work permit of the Cabinet resolution round under which the migrant worker is registered; it is not the same for all cards. The surest way to check is to look at the expiration date printed on the card.
Can it be used as a substitute for a Thai ID card?
No. The pink card (migrant worker ID) is an identification card for persons without Thai nationality. It can be used to verify identity with agencies, but most banks and agencies will also require a passport or work permit.
Do I need to accompany the migrant worker myself?
For some steps, the migrant worker must appear in person, such as for health check-ups and taking photos for the card. Our team will schedule the date and accompany them; the employer does not need to handle the process themselves.
Can work continue if the card has expired?
No. Work must cease until the documents are correct. Both employer and employee face fines if they violate this. Renewal should begin at least 1-2 months before expiration.
How to get a new card if it's lost?
You must file a police report and apply for a new card with the issuing agency. Send details via LINE, and our team will advise on the documents required for your specific case.
