Guest Posted December 24, 2002 Report Share Posted December 24, 2002 If you can write like ths? Florence in a few words As her name Florence is a reminiscence of European beauty, passion and elegance. When she enters a room, her aura of sophistication and refinement moves around her. Florence is the perfect companion in every way: her enchantingly slim body is curvy in the right places and her flawless porcelain skin is delightfully soft and fragrant. Her luxurious silky dark hair adds to her already blooming femininity, and her gorgeous and expressive eyes are the keys to foreign lands you've never dare dream of exploring. Florence is a fascinating and graceful persona wrapped up in a magnetic personality. Time spent with Florence will always appear too short and you just might find yourself addicted to her joy for life and her sweet laughter. While she loves her cosmopolitan niche, Florence is quite versatile and mingle well everywhere, whether it be in the country, in the most casual setting or the most refined moments. Florence loves to learn and is pursuing a university degree. She is well-versed in many subjects and is a joy to converse with. In sum, Florence has it all, beauty, brains, elegance...She is an intense and sensual young lady who will leave you singing and humming for days. We need you!

SingaporeSteve Posted December 25, 2002 Report Share Posted December 25, 2002 Hi - I heard that you could not get work permits anymore unless the salary was at least 50,000 baht a month given that one of the criteria for a renewal is the amount of tax paid. Anyone know if this is the case? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 25, 2002 Report Share Posted December 25, 2002 The 50,000 Baht is NOT an requirement but one of the conditions that can be met is If an expatriate has never worked in the Kingdom, he must provide the employment contract to the officer in order to estimate an expatriate's ability to pay such tax. Accordingly, in the case of single expatriates, he must have personal income of at least 30,000 Baht, and in the case of married expatriate, he must have personal income of at least 45,000 Baht per month. New work permit rules. May 2002 In May 2002, the Department of Employment has announced with approval from the Minister of Labour and Social Welfare the new Procedure Order governing criteria and condition for expatriate's work permit approval. This new procedure order revises the old regulations governing work permit approval, renewal and modification of employment descriptions or locations of a workplace. According to the procedure order, the permit may be granted to an expatriate who has the qualification according to one of these conditions: 1. Working for an establishment with a registered capital of at least 2,000,000 Baht. One expatriate can be hired for every 2,000,000 Baht of capital but not more than 10 expatriates. Supported Document: The Certificate of juristic person registration with a fully paid-up capital not less than 2,000,000 Baht and a copy of the list of shareholders (Form Bor-Or-Jor 5). Financial statement with an initial working capital not less than 2,000,000 Baht certified by a certified auditor And after deduction of debts, loans and other expenses, the establishment must have assets as cash or bank deposit not less than 2,000,000 Baht. - Account transaction to proof cash transacting in the bank for business transaction in the amount not less than 2,000,000 Baht. 2. Working in an establishment, which has already paid income tax for juristic company to the Revenue Department in the past 3 years not less than 5,000,000 Baht. For every 5,000,000 Baht tax payment is allowed to hire 1 expatriate. Supported Document: - Form of tax payment on juristic person (Por Nkor Dor 91) and the receipt from the Revenue Department 3. Working for an establishment, which engages in export business and remit foreign currency of at least the equivalent of 3,000,000 Baht last year. For every 3,000,000 Baht, an establishment is allowed to hire 1 expatriate but not more than 3 expatriates. Supported Document: - A copy of Bill of Lading submitted to the Custom Department stating the total value of export goods. 4. Working in an establishment, which employs 50 Thai employees. An establishment is allowed to hire 1 expatriate for every 50 Thai employees but not more than 5 expatriates in total. Supported Document: - The proof of payment paid toward the Social Security Fund. 5. An expatriate having an income and duty to pay personal income tax to the Revenue Department of equivalent or more than 18,000 Baht, or already paid personal income tax in the past year of equivalent or more than 18,000 Baht. Supported Document: - If an expatriate has never worked in the Kingdom, he must provide the employment contract to the officer in order to estimate an expatriate's ability to pay such tax. Accordingly, in the case of single expatriates, he must have personal income of at least 30,000 Baht, and in the case of married expatriate, he must have personal income of at least 45,000 Baht per month. - If an expatriate used to have the permit, he must present proof of personal income tax payment of equivalent or more than 18,000 Baht along with a receipt from the Revenue Department. Moreover, the Authorized Officers, on reasonable grounds, may consider work permit approval, renewal, and modification of employment descriptions and positions or locations of workplace regardless of restrictions on the number of expatriates stated above, if the work falls under the followings: 1. Representative office conducting quality control, procurement, or marketing research. Supported Document: - The Business Operation License according to the Foreign Business Operations Act B.E. 2542 (2002). 2. The work in investment consulting, administrative consulting, technical and technology, or periodical internal audit. Supported Document: - Consulting contract with both parties' official seals. 3. Tourism representatives who bring in foreigners to travel in Thailand. Supported Document: - Tourist agent permit issued by Thai Tourism Authority. 4. International financial institutions approved by the Bank of Thailand. 5. Temporary business of entertainment, religious, social welfare, cultural or sporting without intention to make profit and paying income tax to the government. 6. Working as a contractor on projects with the governmental bodies or state enterprises. Supported Document: - A supporting letter stating the number of expatriates, expatriate's names and positions. 7. Work using mostly local raw material as an essential component in the production process or work that can reduce the use of imported raw material. 8. Work supporting export of Thai products. 9. Work, which brings new technology, which Thai people are not capable of, in order to distribute and transfer to Thai people. 10. Work in the area where there is a shortage of Thai labour. 11. Having a residency in the Kingdom. Supported Document: - A resident permit or certificate of foreigners. 12. Being a married couple with Thai citizen, with legally married registration, publicly cohabiting as husband and wife, and with a legal profession, which is socially respectable. Conclusion: Compared to the former regulations concerning work permits, most people found that these new conditions sound too good to be true. However, based on our experiences, we have proved that in the real practice these new conditions do exist. Receiving work permits is a very major concern for every business. The more options for work permit are available, the more sensible and effective approaches are to be utilized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SingaporeSteve Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 Great summary, thanks for sharing something that I did not know. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 You're kidding! I've been an editor, freelance writer, Bangkok stringer for a Japanese trade paper, have several books to my credit, taught writing for years etc. This is the kind of stuff we used to crank out in our free time as a joke -- purple prose that makes a soggy turd seem like a fragrant bouqet of roses. Sometimes I'd get interviews and such sent from India allegedly ready for publication. I had to treat them as rough copy and do a complete rewrite. Oh, the things one gets into in publishing. :-) p.s. Ahem, we were also known to turn out a bit of porn in our free time when we got bored. But we had sense enough to trash that. And anyway, I'm not an IT man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Hi, "12. Being a married couple with Thai citizen, with legally married registration, publicly cohabiting as husband and wife, and with a legal profession, which is socially respectable. " Are you saying you can get a work-permit just because you are legally married in Thailand? Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 You can get a one year non-immigrant VISA if you are legally married (i.e. registered at the amphur office). You still have to go through the work permit process like anyone else though. I have a friend who has a permanent residence visa and has lived here 30+ years. He has a wife and two kids in uni. But he still has to get a work permit for his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Hi, Thanks. That is how I thought it worked as well, but it is not how I read the line in list of requirements Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 The answer Khun Sanuk is yes. As long as the job is not in a Bar, etc. They use to have even lower requirements for maarried people on the registered capital. Instead of 2 milion, it was only 1 million Baht, if you were married to a Thai. Now that is waived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
