ORIGINAL POSTER

Anybody knows if it's possible to legally bring in Thailand a Filipino domestic helper? Are they granted for a long term VISA?We currently live in Hong Kong and relocating to Thailand. We would like to bring with us our helper. I know in Thailand there is plenty of Thai helpers but she is considered for us part of the family. Thailand Elite not an option. Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, it is possible to bring a Filipino domestic helper to Thailand, and she can obtain a work permit through a maid agency. Many Filipinas are already working in Thailand, and joining local groups might help to find additional resources.

There was a post here ages ago where someone said they did it through a maid agency and the agency got her the work permit.

There are a lot of phillipinas working in Thailand though and they have a few groups, maybe she can do a search in Tagalog if you dont speak it and ask there.
