Understand your situation. Hope it works out for you. The company might be worth something as a going concern for the WP etc

@Philip ****

Will you just close the company etc? Interesting scenario. I have told ex colleague to do it the other way around. Come on DTV, no business in Thailand but if need staff in future open company and move over.

Anonymous participant If he would employ you as a contractor through your own legal company outside Germany ot may be advantageous but complex. Depends kn the amount involved. Opening a company in Dubai or Singapore for example.

Anonymous participant I do not know the German system but for the UK if you are on payroll you would pay tax as PAYE (Pay as you earn) ie tax load at source before you get your salary. If the UK employer would allow you to become a contractor ie independent they would pay you through a Ltd company , your or an umbrella company. That would be for the full invoice amount without deductions. It is then your responsibility for tax and SS. I have been a contractor for many years previously in both UK and Belgium. There was no way to be paid as an individual. Companies cover theor backs by dealing with a legal entity ie a company. I could never see a UK company employing me just sending my earning directly to my own bank account if not on their payroll as an employee. If I am an employee in the UK the company is responsible for the tax deductions and remitting them to the tax authorities.

Anonymous participant Well sometimes in life the ideal situation is not possible is it in your given circumstances. :-) :-)

Nobody has a crystal ball. There has nothing been published anywhere regarding this (as far as I am aware)

Anonymous participant An employment contract is not always required. I know guys who own UK Ltd companies. As Directors of that company they wrote a letter, basically to themselves, that they could work remotely. That is not a full employment contract stating conditions of work, salary etc. The other documents supplied were company documents and a tax return.

Aye mate - you are correct and multi-billion dollar companies are wrong. It is illuminating that you have no direct experience and are relying on hearsay. Have you ever worked in Thailand legally? Do you even live in Thailand?

@Robert **********

No. I do not like seeing wrong information posted. It may cause people to lose out. Why don't you keep your nose out unless you have anything substantive to add. What information do you have regarding obtaining the B Visa in order to get a WP?

One extension in-country per entry. So you have to leave Thailand after 360 days. You then re-enter with 180 days which you can extend another 180 days on that entry.
