TheBelgianDog Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Greetings I am still actually recruiting staff. I have the opportunity to recruit 3 very beautiful burmese ladies but they are here illegals. I heard that there are means to employ them legally and provide them a work permit. Any board member has hints about this subject before I ask this question to my lawyer? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiHome Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I don't know the details, but it is pretty the same as employing any other foreigner. Most of the perceived complexity in employing foreigners is because the laws are aimed at making life difficult for these people and not westerners.

Nervous_Dog Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 If you have a good lawyer who works FOR you you can ask him ANYTHING straight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 you have two choices - employ them illegally (with all the risks involved; as you are a newbie owner, i would not do that!) - check whether you fulfill requirements to get work permits for foreigners (certain minimum turnover, certain number of thai staff etc. which a small bar like yours has probably difficulties to reach) and go through application procedure by the way, do YOU have a work permit? on a sidenote: I once employed a girl from laos as maid. her brother was working in pratunam for a thai. after 2-3 months when he asked for salary, the thai told him that he will not pay and if he would not cope, he would go to police. both did not dare to go out on the streets. both are now back in Laos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrenova Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I have heard but have no corroborating evidence that there is a way to employ such people. In fact it must be possible as we here in Pattaya often hear stories on the TV about 40 Cambodians found on a construction site, 20 had the right papers and say 20 did not and would be deported. No way would these Cambodians be earning the 50k minimum for (western) work permits etc. It reared its head in my company last year with reference to some girls from Cambodia who did not have papers. By the way, where do those people living in Thailand who the Thais refuse to recognise stand in this quagmire ? Can you employ them, as they have no papers ?

TheBelgianDog Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I of course have a WP (even have 2 at the moment) I am talking to my lawyer but it is actually too difficult to meet the requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elef Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 A friend and his wife have burmese maids, the cost to get all legal papers is around 4,000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCgringo Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Not for your bargirls , But how hard is it to get papers saying you were born at some border town ? Is record keeping that good ( or honest) upcountry, I quess I am thinging the USA way , where if you are born on USA soil you are an American automatically , what does it take to be a "Thai" , just one parent Thai or ????

elef Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 One parent thai yes but that thai parent must be inside the system of house papers also. I think still some hilltribes are not recognized as thai citizens, they claim they've lived in Thailand for centuries but thai authorities say they're later illegal immigrants.

Bangkoktraveler Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I think some peole are using DNA to prove that their DNA matches a 'relative' (like mother, father, uncle aunt) who is a Thai citizen. Citizenship might be granted by finding a Thai with the same type of DNA. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
