@Jw *******

Yep. We got that same look. LOL

We did our own TM30s. Got a form from immigration, and supporting docs (immigration will give you a list), and just took it directly to them.

The work is highly technical. Employees are already approved by BOI and embassy. Just have to hurdle the labor dept and immigration now.

@Kool ******

Thanks! I have been in touch with them a LOT, but these are the questions that they aren't super specific about.

BOI is super hard to set up. I'm sure they're tired of me. LOL

@Sandra **********

Yes. For experts, but Not the same work permit. BOI offers unlimited foreigners with no Thai requirement for the first 4 years. It can also be 100% foreign owned.

So, t's not a standard work permit. It will be the digital variety from what I understand.

There is no "easy" way to do any kind of business in Thailand. LOL.

My husband and I managed to open an account ourselves when we still spoke no Thai. It was hard. Keep going to different branches until you can find one that will.

@Saige *****

Awesome! Our 9 kitties are too, but we had to install an aircon unit in our main room. <3

@Saige *****

Unless your cat is strictly indoors in Thailand, they will be in danger. Street dogs are everywhere, as well as snakes and other predators. In the past 3 years, we've had 6 cobras in our garden.

If he is strictly indoors, you will need to find a house with aircon in the living area, because you won't be able to open windows/doors.

We have 9 cats here and have been through the learning curve.

Best of luck!

I'm a cat person and heard what I swore was a kitten! I tracked the sound through a swamp (in flip flops), and found it was a medium sized monitor lizard. Lol. Scared me to death.

Apparently, they sound exactly like kittens!! Mating call perhaps?

My husband and I have been asked on several occasions. (pre covid)
