What is a work permit? Work permit, that is, the work permit of foreigners in Thailand. Ordinary enterprises apply for work permits for employees once a year, while BOI enterprises apply every two years. From the legal point of view, all non-Thais in Thailand must obtain this certificate if they want to work in Thailand and get paid. The practical significance of the work permit is that only by obtaining it can you legally apply to the immigration bureau for a one-year or two-year visa extension and obtain legal residency.

With a work permit, you can legally apply for a bank card, apply for a letter of credit, and take a driver's license test. In other words, you are a long-term resident foreigner with legal income and expenses in Thailand!

Increase the registered capital, say 2 million to 4 million, and the handling fee is about 5,000 baht.

Entrusting lawyers and accountants to find four Thai identity cards costs about 1000 baht. The monthly accounting cost is increased by 400 baht, and the social security for four people is 350 baht per month, so the total cost is about 365,438+0,000 baht.

Due to the increase of registered capital, the annual profit point of enterprises will also increase, which will eventually lead to an increase of 20 thousand baht in corporate income tax at the end of the year.
