there are always clever guys like you that know everything. I got the company transferred from an Irish guy (with Thai wife) to me (also with Thai wife). I requested an audit and everything was ok. I make the annual tax reports and pay my taxes… but you might be right… it is all fake. 😂😂😂😂 omg!! how many bulshiters are in this place.

too complicate. You register a company with 51% Thai share (your local relatives) and you own 49%. You ask your relatives to sign a document that give you the freedom to sell in future in case you need (lawyers here are experienced on that). You set up yourself as company director and start living. Annually you present the company tax report and pay 10.000 baths.

This is based on my own experience..

No issue as far as you pay the fine. I was 35 days due to some problems with the visa renovation. I got the new visa, paid the fine and ok.

I agree, every office apply their own rules and special fees. It is very frustrating so it is better for him to ask professionals so help and decide the best option for his specific case and location.

my previous work permit was cancelled in Jan 21 and the associate visa (business). I applied to a Thai wife visa within the 7 days, so I got a temporary extension (2 weeks) to evaluate the case, and finally they gave me the new visa without leaving the country. In Chonburi where I live. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Of course, you have to be married 😂😂

@Jason *****

is the best approach. Good luck

@Janin *****

I agree. He can also apply to a different visa within the 7 days if he meets requirements.
