Justificatif de Travail

Post by Allan »

I am applying for a visa to visit Thailand, one of their requirements is a Justificatif de Travail.

I have assumed that this could take the form of a letter from my Company confirming that I am employed as a Director.

I found some wording on the internet.

Objet : attestation d'emploi pour Madame/Monsieur (nom du salarié)

Je soussigné(e) Monsieur/Madame (nom de l'employeur), agissant en qualité de (fonction/pouvoir de l'employeur) dans l'entreprise (nom de l'entreprise), atteste que Monsieur/Madame (nom du salarié) travaille au sein de notre société depuis le (date d'embauche) en qualité de (fonction du salarié) dans le cadre d'un contrat à durée indéterminée, et qu'il/elle n'est ni en période d'essai, ni démissionnaire, ni en procédure de licenciement.

Fait à (lieu), le (date)
(signature)

Pour servir et valoir ce que de droit.


It seems self explanatory but what on earth does Pour servir et valoir ce que de droit mean. I don't mean literally, but is it a phrase use in French correspondence?

Also, have I made the wrong assumption, is there a more formal justificatif de travail?

The letter is fine. The last bit means for all legal intents and purposes. Just a formal expression.

Agree with Florence, you might also want to add that all expenses are paid for by your company, not sure whether Thailand is specific about this requirement but other countries, ie China used to want to see that.

I suppose it’s annoying to ask whether it’s an English company or a French one. If it’s an English one, as a director you aren’t strictly an employee and don’t have a CDI (unless you also have a contract of employment): you have an “officeâ€￾.

Ignore this. I am being difficult, and your template will surely do well enough.
