Delight Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Contributors to this forum have often referred to a Farang JPM. In all cases the JPM has no work permit. I posed the Q on the new 'Ask the Lawyer a Question ' forum and the answer was very clear. Paid or unpaid it is illegal for a Condo to have a Farang JPM who has no permit to work. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/713494-farang-juristic-person-manager/#entry7612448 I suspect that there is some illegality out there.

PattayaPhom Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 They just assist the Thai JP. Which doesn't require a WP but in theory do all the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripley Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Our bldg. had a farang JPM. He was arrested, jailed and had to pay Bt.100,000 bail. There was some question of him being deported. Like many things over the years we owners were not informed of the details and conclusion, but he hasn't been deported. I've mentioned before that - even tho this is not mandated in the Thai Condo Act - the JPM really ought to be a Thai citizen. Work permission, fluency in the Thai language and familiarity with Thai law are essential for the job. Very rare to find a farang with these qualifications. It bothered me until our farang JPM was arrested, then I realized that in most cases any jPM other than a Thai is a non-starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is everything to do with Immigration law. Who arrested your Farang JPM? What was the outcome ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripley Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hi Delight - As I said, we owners were not given details or final conclusion. Requests for information have fallen upon deaf ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
