Are there legitimate services to obtain a business visa and work permit in Thailand for a fee?
Hey gang, are there services/agents that are able to provide business visa and work permit, for a fee? I recently came across someone who does this.. and it seems a good deal?
Seems a bit too good to be true since it's "only" about double what an ed visa would be, but without any of the hassle of employees, rent, etc that a regular business setup would cost. The only stipulation is I pay the foreign salary tax (about 20k) at the end of the year.
Is this a thing... that's a thing?

An ED visa is 2000bt so a B visa and work permit for 4000bt seems like a good deal!

If someone says an ED visa is 2000b, I can say without a doubt that's not a thing 😏Steve *******
@Jackson ******
It sure is a thing. Go to an Immigration Office or a Thai Embassy/Consulate. The single entry Non Imm ED visa is 2000bt.
