As a DTV holder, can I hire a Myanmar maid and provide a working permit for her? She asked an agent but they were confused with my DTV visa. They said normally, the foreign employer has a working permit as well.

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The responses indicate that a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) holder cannot directly hire a Myanmar maid and provide her with a work permit. Most commenters clarify that to employ someone, you typically need to have a company registered in Thailand. It's noted that Myanmar nationals may have alternative avenues to work legally in Thailand without a standard work permit, such as obtaining a 'pink card.' A few commenters humorously advise against pursuing a Myanmar maid and suggest considering a Thai employee instead.

As a DTV holder, you are nothing more than a long term tourist. You have no extra rights or privileges.

If you want to hire someone, you need a company.

People from Myanmar don't need a work permit like us farangs. She needs to apply for a pink id card and this allows her to work legally in most jobs like a thai person.

Bro, there is a simple solution to your dilemma. Marry her and have her under YOUR DTV visa. Since she is your spouse, any work done under your roof is legal. Also, any compensation from you is also legal as spousal support.
