Capital Required, Pr Farang

[thomasjojo]

I am a Norwegian guy, 33 yrs,

wonder how much capital my comp. need for providing my Work Permit. is it so that my marriage to thai half the capital needed?

[EVO]

2 Million Baht registered capital for Work Permit. IVe heard that its 1 million baht for ppl woth a Thai spouse, but im not 100% about this.

[Crossy]

Pretty sure it's 1 million and 2 Thai's if you are married to a Thai

[thomasjojo]

thanks Guys. I also check up with a lawyer in BKK,

I am married, so that makes it a bit easier. . half the price to be precisley.

Well I'm glad you could understand Crossy reply, it went straight past me. Sounded like you needed two wives.

Now that would be expensive.

[thomasjojo]

hehe.. 2 wifes is more expensive thana company...

Well ive ask some lawyers here in bkk 50% says its 2 million baht even if ur married but another 50% says 1 million baht ....So i dont know if the lawyers ever keep updated about the law....

One more thing i get to know that if ur married to a Thai wife with or w/o kid you are eligble to set up a PArtnership with your wife and will be getting a work permit and you dont need a capital...But some lawyers do not recomendyou this partnership thing because they cant make money for registering it for the client...They will tell you lots of horror stories....

Any1 heard of these partnership set up ??

I think for most of us the marriage is the only partnership we would want to undertake with our wives. Think of the possiable consequences.

[thomasjojo]

my partnership, marriage with my wife is safer than my work relationship yes..

so I dont worry any partnership with my wife.
