O-A Visa and Thai Company

Post by ITKMAN »

Seems there is an inherent conflict with having a Thai Company to buy a house and haveing an O-A Visa. I just renewed my O-A and ther is a new stamp that says employment prohibited....

Any info...........

If you want to get a work permit you have to get a Non imm B visa. You do not need a work permit if you have a company.

You are not permited to work on a OA Visa
you can not legaly be a share
holder of a company without a none B if you are in the kingdom

as a share holder or director of a company you need a none B visa


If you have a work permit and your company does not have the required amount of Thai employees you have to leave the country every 90 days as without a work permit on a none B

This may be the reason your freind has to leave the country or they are working ilegaly

I'm not sure your correct about having to have a non imm B to be a share holder of a company. I imagine most foreigners who have companies and are not working do not have this type of visa.

I own my house in HH through a thai company with no Thai employees. I don't have a work permit and my visa is O-A. In reality there has been no problem. It is obviously not very logical, but when I asked somebody about it, the answer was "no, no, it's different thing...".

My guess is that this is something that some time in the future can bring up a stir similar to the one we're seeing now with the Thai nominee shareholders in companies.

It can come any month but it may just as well be another 20 years with no problems. For that reason I have decided to not think any more about it...
