Ok. So you fall in love with a Myanmar girl and think about options to bring her as maid with benefits in your house/apartment 😉 (as marriage is no option for you).
Best go to visa agency with that as living address would be the same like working address and yours 😅

Both of our helpers are Burmese with valid visas. There are agencies that specialize in this as Burmese are the backbone of many roles with F&B and hospitality (as well as construction).

Andrew Wilson I can offer you a job to Myanmar as a domestic helper.
15k a month, you can have Sunday off.
If you are a Brit, please don’t be a drug mule and no getting into fights.

You can do by the emigration

They are migrants, while you are non-immigrant. You can't do the paperwork by yourself. If you have a Thai wife, she can do that. Otherwise, see with a company. There used to be a reliable service doing that for Lao and Burmese people. But I can't find them just now.

The Burmese are different. I'm a Thai citizen and was able to do it for an entire family quite easily and it was cheap to fill out their paperwork. They already know how to do it, they have their networks. I don't know if a foreigner can do that for them though 🤔 considering you need a visa to be here yourself?

I would think you would need a business to do that I would like to know myself
