Iglu Relocate is not designed for starting digital nomads, as we have strict requirements in terms of work experience from the government, as well as minimum income. Please note also, that the 30% includes you income tax.

If you are only counting the cost of visa, the Elite Visa is no doubt cheaper. However, it doesn't allow you to work and does not give you tax residency. With Iglu you become a tax resident of Thailand and unless you are not paying taxes anywhere, it works out cheaper in most cases.

Any intellectual property remains yours, we will simply invoice your clients and not interfere with your business if you don't want us to. If you prefer for us to not invoice your clients directly, it's not necessary if you have a registered company abroad.

If you work in tech/IT, we can most likely help you. Technically a work permit is necessary for any type of work done from Thailand. This may be relevant to you in particular if you are planning to stay here longer term. I will send you more info by PM.

We are not a "visa agent", but a digital subcontracting/outsourcing company. We work on projects for foreign and Thai clients, including local banks and hospitals. Our community of employees can collaborate and share resources between their projects and may also add themselves as available to work on additional projects that we receive.

I should have been more clear in my comment, as I'm certainly not supporting any kind of tax fraud. Any income earned in Thailand should be invoiced through us. However, for someone with a company registered abroad, they do not need to invoice more than the minimum through Iglu as their gross salary in Thailand.

For example someone with a company in the UK could only invoice the minimum to have as their salary in Thailand and keep the rest of their profits in the company. If the person pays themselves dividends abroad and brings the income to Thailand later than one year from earning it, it will be considered as savings, which is taxed at 0%.

@Jeremy *******

can you elaborate what are you talking about?

I can certainly agree there are other ways to stay in Thailand for cheaper, e.g. if you use the Elite visa and don't pay taxes anywhere. But most of our employees want to be 100% legitimate with tax residency in Thailand, able to work legally and do projects for local customers as well.

It does indeed include your taxes and should also note that if you earn a lot of money, it's not necessary for you to invoice more than the minimum. On top of this you get visa, wp, office space, 90 day reporting, social security.. and of course freshly ground coffee ;) When you add everything up, having your own Thai company would get a lot more expensive for an individual entrepreneur.
