Frequently asked questions
Is an EOR legal in Thailand?
Yes, when employment contracts, social security and withholding tax are handled correctly by the employing entity.
Can an EOR sponsor a work permit?
It depends on the EOR's capital and Thai staff ratio. We check eligibility before hiring a foreign employee.
What does the EOR handle?
Contracts, payroll, withholding tax, social security, leave records and termination procedures.
When should I set up my own company instead?
When the team grows or you need licences, contracts or invoicing in your own name.
How much does it cost?
Our service fee is quoted per case.
