Highly unlikely that China will give Thais visa free entry, only 10 countries have it now.

While I don’t know the details of Thai work permit requirements, I have worked for multinational corporations in remote countries. By far the easiest way is to become an employee of the local subsidiary. Most multinationals will have a subsidiary to at least support their local sales team. There will be internal processes to move budget to support someone in a division that may not currently exist in the subsidiary, but that is usually not too complicated. Becoming a local employee of a subsidiary usually makes the issues around a WP easier, as the subsidiary likely has a number of local employees and a sizable investment in the country. Although one negative factor may be that you will be put on the local pay scale and local benefits, which may be less than the home package.

I have lived overseas for many years and through my misunderstanding of tax laws screwed it all up. I have a CPA in San Francisco who fixed multiple years of missing/incorrect taxes. He is super smart and can handle most everything. I would hesitate to trust someone local to Thailand, US tax laws are so complex that it has to be a full time job to keep current. Send me a message if you want a referral…

Bill Maher is a comedian/commentator who for decades has built a reputation of intentionally saying outrageous things to create controversy (enough that the network canceled his Politically Incorrect show). His positions are known to shift with (against?) the every changing cultural tides. Whatever gets viewers! Specifically to all things “woke” I have to ignore it because I can’t find 2 people who can give me the same definition of what it means! Especially if the 2 people are on opposite ends of the political spectrum. So all the arguments are even about the same thing. The most accurate definition of “woke” that I have been able to determine is “something that I disagree with”. Works for both the left and right, but obviously meaningless.
