I have had a Co.Ltd. for about a year now.

My shareholders and emplyees are my GF and people she recruited.

We have decided to split up. This puts me in the decission where i have to find new partners. especially to do the paperwork and correspondence in Thai.

Can I put the company "on Hold" until i find suitable employees?

Is there companies that specialize in taking care of the kafkaesque papermill involved?

I am an artist and do not really need any employees. The less I have to deal with the better. Its superflous and a headhache, but as far as i know the only way to get a Work-permit as a forreigner is to have a Co.Ltd

Anyone had the same experience?

All advice would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

You don't need Thai employees for a WP. You only need them if you want an "Extension of Stay".

Partnerships are also a possibility, where you only need one Thai partner. This also gets you a WP and no Thai employees are necessary as far as I know.

Thank you for your reply.

What does this mean in practice?...sorry for being ignorant.

This means there are two options:

No Thai employees -> Non-B-Imm Visa -> 90 day visa runs to the border.

4 Thai employees and enough income -> Extension of Stay -> No visa runs required.

You get a WP in both cases.
