Hi all,

I’ve had a limited company here for 6 months. During this time I have had a company sort out everything I need, from work permits to my company accounts. My monthly invoices are increasing by the month and think it’s time I changed firms. Just to give you an example, they charged me 2000 for a cheque stamp! My self and my Thai staff couldn’t believe it!!

So, the first question here is can anyone recommend a company that can look after my company accounts and work permit/visa issues.

I’m now on a non-immigrant B visa which expires on the 15th September. Until now, I have always gone out of the country and applied for my visa at the Thai Embassy in that country although I hear that I can do this at the immigration department. Can anyone advice me what the procedure is?

Many thanks in advance.

Chris
