With Shelter, you can simply relocate to Thailand and do your business through Shelter as the Employer of Record (EoR). We charge an affordable flat monthly fee for our EoR service, which covers everything needed from a legal perspective to establish a reliable tax home in Thailand.
And importantly, you won’t have to deal with any of the usual hassles of expat life:
All in all, the onboarding process can take between 2 to 4 weeks, depending largely on the available positions we have open and how quickly you are able to provide the required documents.
Fill out our Contact Form and a representative will be in touch with you shortly. The first step is to schedule an online appointment and have a quick discovery call.
Once you are ready to proceed, we send you an invite to begin the electronic document collection process. You will need to provide digital copies of the following documents:
With your documents collected, we submit your position to the labor authorities in Thailand. Once approved, you will issued an official approval letter. This process can take up to two weeks. When your documents are ready, we will ship them to you internationally for free.
We also prepare visa application paperwork for your spouse and/or children, at no extra charge. We just need a marriage certificate and birth certificates of your children.
After you receive your paperwork, you need to apply for your 90-day Business Visa at a Thai embassy or consulate outside of Thailand (if you are already in Thailand, you can apply in Chiang Mai or Bangkok). At most embassies, you will be able to pick up your visa on the next business day.
Ensure that your visa page is stamped at Immigration on arrival to Thailand. Once in the country, you will scan your visa page, arrival stamp, and departure card and send to us.
Finally, we will meet you in person at Thai Immigration in Chiang Mai or Bangkok to extend your 90-day Business Visa to 1-year, submit your work permit application, and obtain your Work Permit. We also accompany you to the Thai bank of your choice to help you open a checking and savings account.
With your work permit and visa in hand, you are ready to do what you do best – work and enjoy your new life in Thailand.
This is also when the monthly payroll process starts. We invoice our clients on the 21st of each month, process their tax and social security payments, and pay salaries on the 1st of the following month.
