Do not confuse it with another Thailand document

Thailand does not use one frame for everything. This page is about work permit — 30 × 40 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.

04What we fix

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes

Fixed for free

  • Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background without shadows or foreign objects.
  • Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
  • Frame. Exactly 30 × 40 mm, by the document’s rules.
  • A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
  • File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.

What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes

  • Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
  • A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
  • Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 354 × 472 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
  • Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.

08Source

Where these numbers come from

Source: Department of Employment of Thailand. Last checked against the official page on 17 May 2026.

What the source confirms

  • Department of Employment WP.26 work-permit application and renewal material specifies a 3 × 4 cm photograph.
  • The form asks for three 3 × 4 cm photographs for work-permit applications.
  • Related work-permit card/specimen material includes a photograph field.
  • This confirms the 30 × 40 mm work-permit size rather than the broader 40 × 60 mm immigration-photo baseline.
  • The official form confirms size, but not a full biometric head-height or eye-line matrix.
