Sumgmt Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 If anyone in TV-land has recently hired a non-Thai maid, nanny, cook, home caregiver/nurse, etc. and gone through the legal processes of doing so I would very much like to know the details including annual costs associated?? Having been here longer than most expats it has become I feel much more difficult to find reliable Thais over the decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samran Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 You can hire Burmese, Cambodian and Lao workers under the Migrant Labour Scheme which grants workers from these countries special 2 year work permits and access to social services etc. You have to start the process at your local labour office. It is possible for foreigners to hire people eligible under this system, as well as Thai's of course A few links to get you started as background etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samran Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 why was this moved from the visa forum? This thread seems to be about visas more than anything else...??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Hiring Foreign Domestic Help Because it was about family domestic help and that would appear to be a subject that families living in Thailand would likely have more experience with than most of the visa thread readers. Visas was not the primary question in my reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumgmt Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 so what forum does this come under? a visa precludes all other considerations entering any foreign country? Where is your logic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 It looks to me as if you were asking about labour regulations. Yes, the visa is part of that, but the main issue has to do with getting a work permit and labour issues as social security payments, salary and taxes.
