Thank you! But they have told me they will make the papers for one year.So?

<br /><br />Papers could be for a one year contract. Doesn't mean they are getting you a extension of stay permit. A work permit can be given even with no salary. I have an intern who gets 6,000 Baht per month and has a work permit. We have helped 100"s get a work permit and they only get around 10K per month. 50K salary requirement is only for some nationalities and only for extension of stay permits with Immigration.<br /><br />www.sunbeltasiagroup.com<br />

is the salary of 6k bath or 10k bath legal or do you need to do a trick to the labour so they accept that?

<br />Can I ask how you intend to be 'self-employed' or 'freelance' as your posts state? To get a WP you either have to form a Thai company, be a partner in a legal partnership of a Thai person or be an employee of a Thai person's sole trader enterprise.<br /><br />Simon<br />

Hi,

it's in the second line of my first post in this thread, as you can see i already have my own company.

IT looks like a few papers afraid you, there is nothing wrong to apply for the work permit by yourself being self employed, there's nothing more natural.

Before asking for help, i saw while reading different post in the forum that many people did it by themselves not to mention thaivisa has a page regarding the work permit here : <a href="http://www.thaivisa.com/288.0.html that says we can ask if we need help on the forum.

I did the first step by going to the labour in surat thani and get the papers also in case or you didn't notice my question have nothing stupid, if you had the paper in your hands and after reading the DOE's website you would have the same questions as me.

The governement is asking a lot of papers but on the other part every website related to foreigners is translated in english and all documents(for the work permit in my case) are available to download, if the work permit was something that requires a lawyer for sure the documents wouldn't be available to the public.

If i succeed by myself, this could be a sticky in the forum and i could make a tutorial for the mainpage of the website.

I'm well aware of the different rules of business in thailand, a certified accountant is needed for your bookeeping and the tax payment so i have no question regarding this.

i think that now you get my point, if you can help in this thread please do otherwise simply don't reply but i think that post could help a lot of people, isn't thaivisa alive with other people experiences and reports that serve the entire community?

any one?

<br />If you have your own company, than you will also have to use the services of a bookkeeper, among other things fo file your tax return. Let the bookkeeper help you with the paperwork needed to apply for a work permit.<br />

unfortunately the lawyer and accounting offices will not help you for those papers, the prices are not those of bangkok 6500 bath for the work permit (sunbelt rates), here it's 15000 up to 20000.

i have indeed a few questions:

- Can i give them photocopies of the required papers from the company, like the registration?

- The company will not have income per year superior of 1.2 million bath, i read that the VAT registration(for the company) is not needed in such cases but on the required papers i see they ask for phor por 01 or 20?

- My occupation will be in freelance thus not fixed revenues, what is the minimum income i can set for that kind of work(i heard from the accounting desk that the minimum income is set according to your occupation and has nothing to do with the minimum income per nationallity)?

- The duration of employement will be yearly, but now my visa is only three months , i read it's dependent of your visa lenght, can i set an occupation of 1 year and then extend my WP every three months?

- Do the papers have to be filled in in thai or can i do it in english?

- Can i set different jobs like consultance, marketing and sale as occupation?

thank you

Hello,

I have my own company and i'd like to apply for the work permit by myself, i live in samui, i don't want to pay the high lawyers fees.

I already went to the labour in surat thani to take all the needed documents but i need help with the requirement and to fill in the papers.

is there someone in here that can help me?

thanks in advance.

Hello,

i'm looking to buy generic minoxidil in thailand, actually i live in samui and i did all pharmacies so far only one of them has minoxidil but not generic, it was the rogaine at an undecent price of 1200 bath.

i might move to bkk very soon.

does someone knows a place in samui or bkk, even surat thani to buy cheap minoxidil?

thanks in advance.

From experience - the fine is 2000 baht for not reporting on time - as said above.

Is the reporting of 90 days also valid when you own a one year visa non-B?

i hear from all people around me , they need to go out of the country every 3 months even if they have a multy entry non-B valid for a year.

I'll get one soon and i'd like to avoid the visa run and risk my life on the roads.

thank you.

I arrived in thailand(bkk) the 23rd november without visa, the officier didn't even had a look at the online onward reservation(false) printing i did.

yesterday i went to malaysia to extend my stay until i can apply for a non-B , still they didn't even ask about the onward ticket.

so don't worry too much, ask you friend to make himself an onward reservation printing, all will be fine.

Hi,

i'm newly arrived in thailand and on your forum.

i'm from belgium arrived with a 30 day-visa, i plan to stay in thailand for a long time.

i have in my country a permanent source of revenues, not high but enough to stay in thailand as long as i want.

if possible as you never know what life can be in the future, it would be good to work either for a company or build my own company.

usually what are the cost of company registration all included and the annual minimum fees to pay?

What is the best option for me with this 30 day-visa that expires the 22/12/07?

get a ED thai language visa, build my own company or take a tourist visa at the thai consulate in malaysia or anywhere else in asia.

i did read the 10 first pages of the forum and to my opinon, the best would be to get a ED visa for the beggining, this gives me time to seek for a job or build my own company.

if my thought matches yours, where should i go for this?(school)

Also i'm planning to sell products from thailand outside of thailand(never sell things from outside to thai or thai to thai) by internet, i read in the pages i need a work permit(seems a little strange as this is not work but more an indivual activty generating money for thai people), if so i guess i have to build my own company?

thanks in advance.
