I’m a content creator and Instagram influencer I’d like to collaborate and do business with local companies.

What is the legal way to do this? Which visa do I need, and how can I obtain a work permit as a content creator?

I’d really appreciate any advice or guidance on how to work with Thai businesses properly and legally. 🙏

Sorry for the hate you’re getting. I’m not a fan of the influencer thing myself, but people wanting to do business here legitimately and integrate beneficially with the local economy should be encouraged (although it is a hard slog). Assuming you have an existing business of this sort and some sort of provable qualifications or expertise, your way forward is an employer of record (EOR) through a company like Multiplier or Deeral. They (through a local partner) can legitimately employ you to work and develop your own business on a work permit - you’re basically paying them to secure your own services to work developing a local branch of your business. It isn’t cheap, budget to lose about a third of your earnings in overheads. And you need to have an existing business to bring here, otherwise it’s more like a sham arrangement (which big legit companies won’t touch). Real arrangements are BOI approved after looking at the existing business you’re hoping to bring here. Good luck.

This is a rough one. You will most likely need to create your own business here. Get a work visa and work permit. It’s going to be very costly, stressful and time consuming. Then you will be paying Thai taxes on anything you make on top of that. So hiring an accountant and lawyer. Wish you best of luck.

Allow me to translate the post into real English:

I annoyingly point my phone at people and things for a few seconds and I know how to click the "upload" button on YT. I am like Steve Spielberg. How do I make Thai immigration treat me like the special artist I am?
