digitalchromakey Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Most areas you shouldn't have any problem getting a work permit issued against a 90 day entry on a Non Immigrant 'O' Visa entry or a one year extension of stay based on Thai Family.

ubonjoe Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 You can apply for and obtain a work permit and work with a non-o visa entry or an extension of stay based upon marriage or having a Thai child. You should insure a copy of your marriage certificate is attached to the work permit application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaPhom Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Only Phuket have problems as have insisted on a Non "B" BKK, Samui and Pattaya no problems, however Chonburi still require 4 Thai nationals per Foreigner regardless of them being married or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canardo Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I would even recommend it, as, if you might get fired or quit the job your Non-B visa relating to the WP expires the same day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that a work permit office will not issue a work permit unless you have 4 Thai employees even if you are married to a Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlimwa Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Hi there, I'm new to the site although I've been reading for research purposes for a while now.. Please may I check something? I am from the UK and have a Thai passport, and about to move to Thailand with a UK husband on an O visa. He earns his money remotely from clients outside of Thailand, and I have been trying to work out how to get him a work permit so he can continue to earn from overseas - does this mean we don't have to register a Thai company? Also, eventually we would like to go for PR for him, but I think (although I could now have read so much I'm confused) that 1) he has to pay Thai tax? Is this right and if so can anyone advise 2) what rates would be applicable (Is it PIT)? 3) Does this only apply to income we bring into Thailand? I'm happy to benefit from anyone else experience or suggestions on how best to do this! Thanks for any assistance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any assistance In order to get a work permit requires a Thai company, partnership or business registration to get a work permit. The easy way in your case is to form a partnership with you husband (51/49). The number of Thai employees need will depend upon the work permit office where you have to apply. Permanent residency and citizenship (best in his case) requires having a work permit and paying Thai taxes for 3 years prior to application. There are many people working online here by doing it on a out of sight out of mind basis from their homes without a work permit (also called under the radar).
