TLDR : Answer Summary
To obtain a work permit as an independent IT consultant in Thailand, one cannot directly acquire a freelancer license as it does not exist in the country. Work permits can only be obtained through a registered company, either as an employee, or as an owner/director of your own company. It is advisable to contact companies that specialize in assisting freelancers with work permits, such as IGLU, for detailed guidance.

The only way to obtain a Work Permit is with help of a company, or as employee or as director/owner of your own company. There is no free lance license in Thailand.

IGLU has been mentioned before in similar threads, but not sure of the details / process.

Google iglu Thailand and you'll find them.
