bristolboy Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I've been told that even if an expat has a work permit, the expat is not allowed to handle money. As a security measure the owner of the business wants me to count the day's receipts. So is it true that this would be a violation of visa regulations? Or did this used to be the case but is no longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have several that describe my function. The relevant one, if it is relevant is this: taking care of the store.

Briggsy Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 If handling cash is not overtly stated and you are in public view, I would be careful. ดูแลร้าน could be your fallback argument if any problems arose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanos Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 "Taking care of the store" would seem to be a broad-enough job description to include totting-up the day's takings. There would have to be a lot of splitting of hairs by Immigration or Labour to deny you that function. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 You can count the money. What you can not do is receive money from customers. That's professions reserved for Thais. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartiniMan Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 You can count money and you can handle investments also - just the owner is thai that's all For example you run a restaurant as long you have a thai partner you can even be a waiter just have to do it by the book - my friend is running one in bangkok for many years and handles all customers he just has a thai partner that's all.
