Not any more. As of last month Iglu are no longer able to obtain work permits.
Was only a matter of time before they started to target those type of companies.

Oha, but not surprising, do you know if they also cancelled the old permits, what about their existing customers?
Most including Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia etc have WORLDWIDE TAXATION on all your income, there aren't that many countries actually.
Philippines is one that has taxation like Thailand, so are a bunch of Latin american countries (costa rica, panama imo), but most others including europe (portugal and co) don't.

I'm not sure. I just know that a friend of mine was in the process of getting a work permit through them, got his 90 day stamp, and had arrived in Thailand only to the receive an email from them informing him that they are no longer able to hire foreign employees. Apparantly the BOI told them they need to revise their business model. 555
I would imagine at the very least, their existing customers/employees won't be able to renew their work permits.
Hi all,
Santtu here from Iglu. Thought I'd chip in to clarify the current situation. First of all, Iglu is not a visa solution. We are a community of tech talents working remotely for clients worldwide.
Iglu is not accepting new foreign employees in Thailand for the moment indeed, while we are making some major changes to our business model. We are working closely with the Thai authorities who have requested us to make some changes in order to continue supporting our large community of tech talents in Thailand.
Apart of not taking on new employees, Iglu is still fully in operation with over 250 employees providing a variety of digital consulting to clients worldwide. Our employees can renew their visas and work permits as usual.
We are also going to be expanding to Da Nang, Vietnam by end of this year!
What visas are left for those under 50?
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
