Thai marriage extension work permit criteria

[yankee99]

I have read on the forums that normally four employees and a two million baht company are the norm. If legally married to a thai two employees and a one million baht company is required.

is the above correct and could some one link me to the government police order? The reason i ask is i have been told that chonburi does not care if you are married to a thai or not. Not really looking to argue with chonburi just would like a firm answer. I assume chonburi has authority to make the rules a they wish...

Information you recieved is correct.

It is not a police order, as it concerns a regulation from the labour department and not immigration.

Just to be clear then the chonburi labor department sets their own rules? Married or not 2m and 4 employees.

thanks

I believe there have been some reports about no more advantages for being married to a Thai national.

_{Yup.....Chonburi also state for me 4 Thais and 2 Mil.....yet in BKK was 2 Thais and 1 Mil, although that was 5 years ago}

My understanding is that while it is 1 million baht in registered capital if married to a Thai national that you still need 4 Thai employees.

From what I have read on here over the years it has always been 2 Thai employees.

Maybe it is changing.

Previous government changed rules in 2010 or11. But nothing was made public about it.

They apparently changed the special rules for those on PR and being married to a Thai.

One million capital is still there but it is now 4 employees instead of 2.
