Hello yogi_as,

I would like to inform you that I have created a new discussion from you post in the Bangkok forum for better visibility and interaction.

You can have a look at the Guide- Working visa in Thailand to get more information about the procedures.

I hope the members will provide you with more information soon.

Thank you

I will be worried about a company who want to hire a foreigner and is not familiar to this process because there are clear requirements for the company and they have to justify why they need a foreigner ( you need to check this to avoid any scams )

1- Requirements to be fulfilled by the employer

The Thai company hiring a foreigner needs to have the following characteristics:

- registered in Thailand;
- having applied for a Tax I.D. and VAT registration;
- having a minimum paid up capital of 2,000,000 Baht per foreign employee (3,000,000 Baht for foreign employers);
- having 4 Thai Employees per work permit;
- having maximum 10 work permits (BOI-companies may be granted more).

2- The application has to be completed with certain corporate documents:

Commercial Registration Department Certificate proving that the company is a registered juristic person, the name of the director(s), the objections and registered capital;
Shareholders List certified by the Commercial Registration Department;
Factory License, if any;
VAT Certificate;
Withholding Tax (in case the work permit is being renewed).
