IMA_FARANG Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 This is just a friendly warning to those who are running a business in Thailand....especially such as a restaurant, a hotel. or such a business in their wives names....and have themselves hired as "employees" by their wives or girlfriends to stay in Thailand with a work permit from their Thai wives business. If that is you, be very careful hat everything is legal and in order. I merely say this as I am told this will be the next "matter of concern" for Thai authorities to look at closely. May be nothing.....but this is just a word to the wise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyjim5 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Where was this information obtained ? It is very difficult to obtain a WP unless all conditions associated with the permits issue are met. More "rumour" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayk Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/content/151873 Considering the warning about Thais not acting as nominees for alien businessmen it only makes sense that they may start to look at other areas as well.

willyumiii Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Damn! Where does Thailand get off expecting foreigners to follow the rules and laws? Haven't the learned that we are better than them and don't need to follow their silly rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonjelly Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 If the paperwork for the WP is correct and in order, does it matter if the missus is your employer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugocnx Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Damn! Where does Thailand get off expecting foreigners to follow the rules and laws? Haven't the learned that we are better than them and don't need to follow their silly rules? Yes, it is not the Thai themselves that are in the picture. It's the foreigners that do all the bad things. My advice to Thai government could be: Put all that effort and money in Thai education. Teach them how NOT to make an accident or not to cheat. Oh, maybe also to have them abide by some simple laws which really won't hurt their individualism. After that... come and get me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkcanuck8 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Immigration, Labour depratment, police, Army, tax office, DBD...which authority? I believe it is under the Foreign Business Act. They are just closing loopholes that certain foreigners have used to operate businesses that were excluded from foreign ownership. If you are using your money and having a Thai National pretend they are a majority owner which control - while you are actually retaining control.... the Thai national could be prosecuted under existing laws. It will of course be up to the courts to have the final say. They are just enforcing existing law more strictly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
