Change Employer Within 30 Days — Legal, no need to leave
Per Foreign Worker Management Decree — TD93 has an employer database for matching + handles all parties.
Service Overview
Per Foreign Worker Management Royal Decree B.E. 2560 Section 51, foreign workers may change employers in 6 cases within 30 days of leaving the previous employer. Beyond that, they must leave Thailand and restart the process. TD93 handles both sides — workers seeking new employers and employers needing experienced workers ready to start. We have a matching database across all job types. 6 legal cases (Section 51): 1. Previous employer terminated employment 2. Previous employer died 3. Previous employer ceased business / closed / bankruptcy 4. Previous employer breached contract (unpaid wages / unsafe workplace) 5. Previous employer abused / violated worker rights 6. Contract ended ⚠️ Must complete within 30 days — never wait until the last minute, as previous-employer paperwork delays may exceed the deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if 30 days pass without finding a new employer?▾
Worker must leave Thailand and restart MOU import (45-60 days + new fees).
How many times can I change in 1 year?▾
No fixed limit, but each change must meet 1 of the 6 cases. Department reviews change history; frequent changes may be questioned.
Who pays the fees?▾
Typically the new employer to attract the worker — but negotiable. Some cases split 50/50.
What if previous employer refuses to sign exit notice?▾
If 'rights violation' applies, you can file at Department of Labour Welfare to compel — TD93 helps coordinate and provides legal advice.
Can the worker work elsewhere temporarily during the 30-day window?▾
No — must not work until new Work Permit is issued. Working before is illegal and fineable.
Will wages be the same or restart?▾
Wages depend on agreement with new employer — TD93 helps negotiate fair compensation per skills and experience.
Where do workers stay during transition?▾
If the new employer has no housing yet, TD93 has temporary accommodation — fee per agreement.
