What you must know before applying

Eligibility
This is open to professionals who hold a bachelor's degree, have at least 5 years of work experience, and are in specific industries such as digital, business support, or C-level positions.
Establishing yourself in Thailand
PEO services offer swift entry into the Thai market, but may not suit long term operations. For long term projects, starting a Thai limited company is advised. Begin with our PEO services, then transition to the new company when ready.
Payroll and Compliance
We manage payroll and personal income tax filings. After residing in Thailand for 6 months, an employee is considered a Thai tax resident and can take advantage of Thailand's favorable tax system.
Work Permit and Visa
The work permit and visa are granted under a Thai company, in line with its business objectives and appropriate licenses. The individual is recognized as an employee of the Thai company and operates under its direct supervision and responsibility. While tasks may be allocated based on a service agreement with a company outside of Thailand, the employee's primary directive remains under our guidance and in accordance with our business goals within Thailand.
Health Insurance and social security
The employee is registered with social security. We offer options for supplemental health insurance to ensure the employee is fully covered in Thailand and during trips abroad.
Timeline
We recommend beginning the process at least 2 months before your intended start date in Thailand. Preparing and obtaining the documents for the initial 3-month business visa (Non Immigrant B) can take up to 3 weeks. Following that, preparing the documentation for job position approval and scheduling a meeting with Bangkok Immigration for your work permit and visa extension will also require around 3 weeks

Frequently Asked Questions

Who s responsible for the day to day supervision of the employee once they have been onboarded?

The Thai company is the legal employer, and as such, the employee is governed by Thai labor law regulations. Nevertheless, specifics such as roles, responsibilities, KPIs, quality standards, and other pertinent details can be outlined in a service agreement, as long as they align with the business activities of the Thai company.

How do PEOs pay employee wages and handle payroll compliance?

PEOs are contractually obliged to pay wages and fulfill all taxation rules and regulations in Thailand. The PEOs will invoice the foreign employer on a monthly basis to collect the foreign employee salaries. Furthermore, the PEO service ensure that the foreign employee is paid ontime and relevant taxes have been withheld.

What is the minimum wage for foreign employees in Thailand?

The minimum salary for a foreign employee is dependant on where they are from:

What are the tax obligations for employees in Thailand?

The tax obligations for employees in Thailand are as follows:

Net Taxable Income (THB)Tax Rate (%)
0-150,000Exempt
Greater than 150,000 but less than 300,0005
Greater than 300,000 but less than 500,00010
Greater than 500,000 but less than 750,00015
Greater than 750,000 but less than 1,000,00020
Greater than 1,000,000 but less than 2,000,00025
Greater than 2,000,000 but less than 5,000,00030
Over 5,000,00035

The employer withholds the employee's Personal Income Tax on a monthly basis (source tax), based on the projected annual salary income. Additionally, the employer deducts the social security tax, which is 5% of the employee's salary, capped at 750 Baht.

Employees are required to file their annual personal income tax return by April of the subsequent year. The final tax amount may be adjusted to account for deductions or any other taxable income that might have been earned or brought into Thailand. Our tax experts are on hand to assist our clients with personal income tax matters in Thailand.

In practice, the salary should correspond to the employee's role and experience and be sufficient to cover their living expenses.

Can I use a PEO service to sponsor my work permit in Thailand?

It is essential to understand that the PEO is not just a facilitator but acts as both the legal and actual employer in Thailand. This means that employees working under a PEO are directly governed by, and must adhere to, the instructions and policies set by the PEO.

While there's flexibility in determining specific job roles, responsibilities, KPIs, and other work-related parameters — often established in a service agreement between the original company and the PEO — it's mandatory that all the outlined tasks and responsibilities fall within the official business activities of the PEO in Thailand. This ensures that the employment is genuine and not merely a workaround for visa provisions.

It's crucial to highlight the legal implications: Thailand prohibits entities from issuing work permits to foreigners if the primary or sole intention is just to secure a visa without genuine employment undertakings. Such practices can lead to severe penalties for both the PEO and the foreign individual.
