I got the consideration stamp for the Covid extension on March 27th, and my visa was set to expire on March 29th (first 30 day regular extension on a 60 day tourist visa).
Ok so you got the same as me - effectively 15 days before you have to go back to immigration....what a joke!
Cant help you on the second extension I'm afraid - just did my first one today!
-
What date did you get the first extension?

My stamp says sub-div.2 imm.div.1
Application of stay is under consideration. Applicant must contact again in person on 05 May 2020. Immigration officer 07 apr 2020.
Yes so that makes sense - you got 30 days with 'under consideration' - thats what I was expecting!
Did anyone else get only 15 days?!?!?!

If you look closely at the stamp is states your application is under consideration and the date on is is when you go back to get the remainder of the 30 days after your application is approved.
Sure yes but that still means I have to go back down there in person in 15 days time - so effectively it may as well be a 15 day visa, but just with a bit less paperwork next time.
The only potential upside is that with all the various towns in Phuket being locked down now, it might be less congested there in 15 days time! today was a nightmare!

Yeah I was there today and got from today (april 7th) and have to come back in May 5th. So basically a month.
I'm American.
What nationality are you?
from UK

So I was under the impression that the extension with letter from Embassy etc would be an emergency 30 days extension to a Tourist Visa???
I went today but only got a 15 day extension!!! It seems unbelievable to give such a short period under the current circumstances! ????
Did anyone get the 30 days as advertised?

BACK. OF. THE. NET!!! ????
Hopefully will be the same for other countries soon too
Now updated page for UK without evidence of return flight as yesterday......

COVID-19 Visa Extension Applications – Support Letter
The British Embassy can issue a letter to support applications to extend existing visas. Those holding a tourist visa should first apply for a 30-day extension at an Immigration Office.
To apply, email [email protected] with evidence of:
- Copy of biodata page of passport
- Entry stamp
- Visa stamp/sticker with expiry date

Upfront Costs
Company Set Up - 35,000
Can be much cheaper, but there are Thai and western lawyers who will charge much much higher outrageous rip-off fees.
Reality is that the actual registartion process at the Thai Companies Registration office is not complex, not all that time consuming, and not all that expensive.
There are accountancy firms and business agencies who regularly do this work, aften at fees well under 35,000.
And I'm aware of at least one professional property agency who can and do handle all of the above, and they also 'sell' company set-ups where sellers don't (after property sale) need the company set up and the agency helps sell the company name to other folks. Needs of course to be an agency with a proven record of ethics, etc. The agency I'm aware of did this for me when I sold my house about 6 years ago. Luckily they had a buyer (not of my property) who nneded a company set up, so it was win-win all around.
Don't believe a lawyer who tells you that companies must be set up by a lawyer registered in Thailand, not true.
Annually
Accounts and Audited Accounts - 30,000
Many accountants handle both items including preparation and lodging of the annual Company report to the Thai companies office, for way under 30,000.
When I had a company my registered accountant (in Pattaya) handled both for around 12,000Baht annually all up, last time I did this was around 6 years ago. Then I sold the company name.
(Keep in mind, unless it's changed the Audit must be handled by a sepearte company, but easy for an accountant to manage both items).
Work Permit - 15,000
Preparation of the applications forms is quite simple and lodging the application is also simple, unless it's changed recently the actual fees to gain 1 one year work permit is around 3,800Baht.
The accountant I mentioned above handles work permits.
Don't believe lawyers who tell you it is to be handled by a registered lawyer. Not true.
Don't believe lawyers who tell you the work permit negotiation is very complex therefore needs a lawyer. There is no negotiation. All not true.
Corporation Tax - 2,000
Thanks I did think that about Accounts and audit....will shop around and see what prices i can find in Phuket

Yes ???? but technically speaking it’s only need to be paid and shown about 3 months prior to reapply for WP and visa extention, could get away not having to pay for other 9 months , however keep in mind for visa extension, immigration comes out to place of business to take pics and have a chat with at least 1 staff but want all 4 present
thanks! ????

Upfront about right
annual audits depends on the business but I pay 17000-18000
WP if done by accountant or lawyer is about right, but will need 4 staff or at least paid SS for 4 staff
tax on 50000 is under 3000 baht.
SS minimum is about 990 baht per person
yes 2 million can be a loan
Brilliant thanks appreciate the input - I had 3 x 1500 for SS so I guess should be 4 x 990 (3960)?

Would appreciate some input from those that have experience with limited companies in Thailand
This is what I have so far from a few online sources and one visa company in Phuket (all THB)....
Upfront Costs
Company Set Up - 35,000
Annually
Accounts and Audited Accounts - 30,000
Work Permit - 15,000
Corporation Tax - 2,000
Monthly
Personal Tax on 50,000 - 3541 (not sure which exemptions might apply to single person - possibly just 30K?)
Accounting - 3,500
3 x Staff Social Security - 4,500
2 Million Capital - Can this be a directors loan which is effectively not repaid or does it need to be 25% paid up...or are there other options?
Appreciate any sensible replies ????
