Be prepared to spend from 15,000 to 20,000 Baht for fees... and another 15,000 to 20,000 in miscellaneous fees, travel/hotel costs and other ... Maybe you will be lucky and it will be 50 or 60 percent less.

The Agent needs to be in your area. You need an accountant to prepare certain tax statements and more working with the Agent. Accountants are often Visa agents too. You have to have an application into the Labor Ministry - either a WP.1 or WP.3 depending on several factors ... Only an Agent will know which you need. Your Thai Partner will have to prepare a letter inviting you to be employed as a Director ... Getting all this done in the right sequence with the correct documents only an experienced Accountant/Lawyer/Visa Agent will know in your particular case.
