In Topic: Visa Type For Working In Thailand But Salary Paid By Foreign Employer?

2011-09-20 03:50:42

The reason I'm asking here is because the information I get from other parties tends to vary with the day I ask. Let's say that I haven't found the right person to talk with yet. Meanwhile, any information that I can gather myself can help the Thai side decide what paperwork is or isn't needed.

Everything will be fine in the end anyway.

Thanks for the answers.

Any experience on whether an invitation letter from the Thai institution is enough for the Non-B visa application?

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (http://www.mfa.go.th...482.php?id=2489) lists certain requirements for a non-B, which do not match the situation of being hosted by a Thai university (Kasetsart in this case) with a foreign salary:

Quote

- Document showing correspondence with trading partners in Thailand. ("B") - Letter of invitation from companies qualified to employ foreigners. ("B")

- Employment contract indicating rationale for employing the applicant as well as his/her salary, position and qualifications (document must be signed by authorized managing director and affixed the seal of the company) ("B")

(...)

- Copy of corporate documents; namely 1) list of shareholders 2) business registration and business license 3) company profile 4) details of business operation 5) list of foreign workers stating names, nationalities and positions 6) map indicating the location of the company 7) Balance sheet, statement of Income Tax and Business Tax (Por Ngor Dor 50 and Por Ngor Dor 30) of the latest year 8) Alien income tax return (Por Ngor Dor 91) and 9) Value-added tax registration (Por Ngor Dor 20) , etc.("B")

Her mum keeps emailing saying she wants her daughter to come to the uk as she cannot take care of her and keeps having to leave her in the village with her mum, i ask her to provide me with necessary info and then i hear no more from her. We have always paid prob a little to much we pay £80 per week.

£80 per week is definitely too much. If she sends her daughter to the UK, she will lose that, and for most in Thailand £80/week is just too good to give up, whatever she says in her e-mails.

For some perspective, a factory worker in Bangkok or Rayong (the main industrial regions) earns 1200-1500 Bahts/week basic salary, perhaps 2000 Bahts/week with overtime, meaning 12 hours a day 6 days per week. That works out to £40/week. Currently with her daughter she can get twice that amount for free.

Conclusion, you need to reduce how much you send, but be prepared for complaints and emotional blackmail such as hospital/school/... bills to pay. Request her to send a (readable) photo or scan of the invoice, and have someone who can read Thai confirm that it was for the daughter.
