Thai wife and I want to start our own business. we already have a thai registered company with paid in capital that we haven’t used since the pandemic hit but still pay taxes on,  and now just need some help getting my work permit paperwork done with hiring 2 thai employees. 
 

note: our business lawyer doesn't do work permits for foreigners hence why we couldn’t use him.

 

We’re in Chiang Mai. Any recommendations on an agent or lawyer to use? Any ballpark estimate of the cost?

 

thank you

We use these guys - lawyer is a Professor of Law and teaches at CNX Uni

Don't know re: work permits tho'

Thank you, I'll have the wife give them a call to check. I also got a lead that AssistThai agency does this as well

I do not know about Chiang Mai, but have you asked your accountant?

My accountant does all of my work permit/visa/90 day reports etc.

Good idea, many accountants offer this service and are well capable to do it.

 

Don't believe anybody who tells you that the WP application has to be submitted by a Thai layer. Absolutely not true.

 

Don't believe anybody who tells you that the 'negotiation' must be done by a Thai lawyer. Not true  in fact there is no negotiation involved.
