I’m married to a Thai. Do I enjoy any special privilege when I set up a company in Thailand?

Yes, you do and one of the most popular and useful benefit is the reduced requirement when you want to set up a company to hire foreigner / including hiring yourself.

Normally, in order for a company to hire/ sponsor a Work Permit, it must have at least THB2 million registered capital and also must comply with the 4 Thais to 1 foreigner rules.

If you have a Thai spouse, the minimum registered capital is reduced to THB1 million and also you only need to hire 2 Thais to provide a Work Permit to a foreigner and in many case, the work permit may be for you.

Why? by marrying a Thai, you do not automatically have a working rights however it will be much easier therefore many foreigners would set up a Thai Limited company here after they have married a Thai and then apply for a work permit for themselves.
