What will happen to English Teachers? What's the law for English Teachers now? Is it Baht 20,000 / month salary, Baht 40,000 / month salary or what?

If a teacher is going to extend his / her visa, how much income does he / she need to show?

Cheers !

I'm not a freaking lawyer, but where's article 7?

And does this affect Amity or BOI companies?
Merci Beaucoup

If I may add a p.s. to the very clear post by Marty (above). The paid up capital of a corporation can not be ascertained by reference to 'bank books'. The only possible exception could be the records for the first few days after incorporation if no transactions have taken place except the collection of subscriptions and even these  will not reflect shares issued for consideration

My immediately preceding post appears to have been truncated. It should have ended "consideration other than cash"

Thanks Sunbelt,
and it appears those of us who married a Thai in a country other than Thailand, now have incentive to register the marriage in Thailand with regards to preceding cited legislation.

Whatever difference would that marriage ' registration ' make ?

For the work permit, to establish the fact you are married, you just need to show the marriage certificate( translated if not in English or Thai), spouse’s identity card, birth certificates of children, household registration, as well as photocopy of every page of the applicant’s passport.

To get the extension of stay based on business though, you need 2 million baht paid up capital with 1 million working capital.  You also need to be paid the minimum salary for your nationality and the corporation must have 4 Thais per work permit.


To get the extension of stay based on marriage. You are correct, you would have an advantage as you don't need 4 Thais per WP, 2 million paid up, or minimum salary for your nationality. Just need to either be getting 40K on your job, have 400,000 in the bank or combination of both. With only the 1 million Baht paid up registered company needed to get the work permit and lower requirements for this extension, than it would be easier to go this route.

Hi

Well.. im married and i've just set up a Ltd with 2mil registered/not paid up capital.

I have about 80k/month in salary from overseas.

It is my understanding that i have 1 year to pay up the 1 mil needed to apply
for a WP based on business.

Can i bring in my salary and add to the paid up capital on a monthly basis to
make sure i meet the requirement in one year? Then use the money every month
to pay myself 500k and my wife 500. This way ensuring as little tax as possible.

What do i show on my applicationform for my O-visa?
The income from my overseas employer, or from the company i just registered?

See your point, no need to register the marriage, just bring in your marriage certification from your native land.

P.S.: sure u ain't a shyster, doc?
