How To Get A Thai Business Visa Without Hiring 4 Thai Staff

In this blog, we'll explore how you can secure a Thai business visa without the hassle of recruiting local staff. The key? Opening a Thai company and managing operations remotely from your home country.

Why is this approach beneficial? Whether you already own a company or are planning to establish one, setting up a Thai entity allows you to lay the groundwork for your future endeavors in Thailand. By doing so, you can initiate the visa process while still managing your business from afar.

Why Choose a Non-B Business Visa?

The Non-B business visa is for people who want to do business in Thailand. If you have set up a company in Thailand, you can apply for a Non-immigrant B visa from your country and stay for up to 90 days for business reasons. With this visa, you can easily do business tasks like meeting staff, meeting with customers, working with partners, and visiting offices.

Getting a Non- B business visa lets you stay longer in Thailand while doing business. Whether you're experienced in business or just starting out, this visa lets you explore and grow your business in Thailand.

The Benefits of Opening a Thai Company

One great thing about getting a Non-B business visa is that you can do it by starting a Thai company. This means you can set up your business in Thailand while still running things from your home country.

But why start a Thai company? Here are some good reasons:

• Visa Qualification: If you own a Thai company, you automatically qualify for a Non-B business visa, making it easy to come to Thailand and do business.
• Flexibility: When you set up a Thai company,  you manage your business from anywhere in the world. No need to work full time here as yet.
• Access to Markets: Having a presence in Thailand helps you reach new markets and customers, which can grow your business.
• Following the Law: Operating within Thailand's legal system helps you follow the rules and create a good environment for your business to succeed in the long run.

Here's how it works:

• Setting Up Your Thai Company Made Simple: Kickstart the registration of your company in Thailand with ease. With the assistance of local specialists like Thai Kru, navigating through the legal formalities and paperwork becomes seamless. All you need are your passport, business plan, chosen business category, and your desired Thai company name. Leave the rest to Thai Kru, relieving  any concerns about Thai partners or complexities in paperwork.
• Manage Operations Remotely: With your Thai company in place, you can oversee business operations from your home country. Utilize technology and virtual communication tools to stay connected with your team and monitor progress.
• Apply for the Business Visa: When you're ready to travel to Thailand, whether it's for business purposes or leisure, simply apply for a business visa from your home country. This visa permits you to stay in Thailand for up to 90 days at a time, offering the flexibility to travel back and forth as required. Thai Kru will assist you in applying for this type of visa online. All that's required is financial evidence: an amount of no less than 30,000 THB and an invitation letter from your company in Thailand.
• No Need for Four Thai Staff Members: Unlike the traditional approach, which mandates hiring four Thai employees, managing your business remotely exempts you from this requirement. This means no social security payments or additional staffing burdens until you're ready to expand your operations locally.

If I want to stay longer than 90 days?

If you're considering staying longer than 90 days, it indicates a serious commitment to long-term residency in Thailand. In this case, you can begin the process of hiring four Thai staff, including paying for their social security contributions. By meeting this requirement, you become eligible to extend your business visa for up to one year, with the option to renew it annually. Don't worry, once you've made the decision to stay full-time, simply inform us, and we'll continue our assistance seamlessly!
