Classic Ray Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 You need to specify if you want to start a company in Thailand and/or get a work permit in Thailand and/or start a branch of an overseas company in Thailand. Then people will be able to give you advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkoklawyer24 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Your friend is correct, but it is exactly called bullsh*t license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericthai Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 OP you need to provide more info on your goal. Do you want to open a company or are you just looking for a way to stay in Thailand. You can open a company with your wife, she needs to own 51% (unless from the USA, then you can own 100% under the amity treaty). To get a work permit the company will need to employ 4 thais (some offices allow only 2 if married to a Thai) need to have paid up capital of 2 million. As for opening a bank account. you dont need a work permit. Just like everything else in Thailand each bank branch will have their own rules so you need to just keep trying until you find a branch that will open without WP.

Like just about all govt offices each has their own rules. Best to contact the office that you will be using. Personally I think you will need 4, the rule for only having 2 employees was for being married to a Thai. Not even sure that rules it still valid. Sorry wish I could give you a straight answer but TIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelerEastWest Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 You only need two staff if you have a Thai wife. Only 1 million baht capital if I remember correctly again with a Thai wife. An annual audit is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
