Cabinet meet okays decree draft on extension of permits
A Cabinet meeting on Tuesday approved the draft of a royal decree that would allow the extension of various permits by paying a fee without the applicants having to file for the extension first, government deputy spokeswoman Traisulee Traisaranakul said.
The royal decree will cover permits under the following laws:
- Export Commodity Standards Act BE 2503;
- Plants Act BE 2518;
- Cemeteries and Crematoria Act BE 2528;
- Veterinary Sanatoriums Act BE 2533;
- Public Health Act BE 2535;
- Hazardous Substance Act BE 2535;
- Health Facility Act BE 2541;
- Fuel Control Act BE 2542;
- Agricultural Standards Act BE 2551;
- Cosmetics Act BE 2558; and
- Health Establishments Act BE 2559.
“Under the royal decree, holders can extend their permits by paying an extension fee as stipulated by respective acts at offices of these agencies or via other payment channels, either physical or electronic, that the agencies allow,” she said.
Traisulee also said the draft had been proposed by the Office of the Public Sector Development Commission, which will within 30 days present it to the House of Representatives and the Senate for approval.
“Once both houses okay the draft, it will be presented for the King’s approval and later be announced as a royal decree,” she added.
