Q1205. How to get a Thai Alien Work Permit (Blue Book) translated by a NAATI certified translator?

Answered by NAATI Certified Practitioner · NYC Visa & Translation

Send clear colour scans of your Thai work permit booklet to a NAATI-certified Thai-to-English translator, including all pages containing information, stamps, or amendments. Include the identity page, employer details, authorized occupation, validity periods, renewals, and any cancellation or employer-change entries. Ask the receiving authority whether blank pages must also be included or accounted for. Provide your passport spelling and any documented English employer name to reduce inconsistencies. A work permit demonstrates authorization recorded in the booklet, not necessarily continuous employment or salary payments. For an Australian skills assessment, check the assessing authority’s evidence rules and consider whether employment references, payslips, or tax records are also needed. Do not omit older endorsements simply because they have expired.
