& TAX SERVICES ]
AS AT 2017 WE OFFER ALL FOREIGNERS OUR FREE LITIGATION ADVICE SERVICE. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM THEN ASK US FOR FREE. THIS IS THE ONLY SERVICE IN THAILAND THAT OFFERS YOU FOR FREE. WE AIM TO HELP EXPATS AND SAVE YOU MONEY.
EXAMPLE OF OUR COSTS: 2M BAHT COMPANY: 25,000+

For a 2m baht company Total additional fees to pay can be around 15-20,000
baht which will include tax, memorandum, share reg fees are 5000 baht
per 1m baht upwards. However you may have to show
your share capital in the bank ie. 2 m baht. If increasing your
share capital you must show this extra money in your bank now & 2 m
baht in the bank if you employ another foreigner per foreigner each time
you increase. Please also remember companies levies
vary according to what business a company will perform. Our costs change
due to this so use only as a general guideline.
USA Amity Company--please ask and only available for US residents
setting up in Thailand or go to the section on Amity Treaty but before
you think of starting one you must have an existing Thai Company.
Our costs to travel are priced once we start working for you. Wherever
possible we limit travel and work via our own Thai representatives in
Pattay. We do have lawyers in
Bangkok, Pattaya, Korat, Phuket and use a Corporate law Office in
Bangkok. If we send our lawyer to Bangkok fees do not include travelling
/
expense costs.
REAL ESTATE:
Title Deed search (Court/ Title Office
& full English report) 10,000 baht. However if our Lawyers need to
travel out of ChiangMai the cost is 6000-10,000+ baht. Changing ownership
papers up to 10,000 baht per transaction depending on the work
involved & translations. Onsite House Report= 6000 baht for an
old House (over 2 years) & 3000+ baht for a new house in ChiangMai
(add travel expenses but ask us). This 6-8 page comprehensive report
provides buyers with a maintenance report, condition of the property
they wish to buy and recommendations from plumbing to foundations to
electrical etc -- conducted by our foreign Realty Company. This report
is a must if you are thinking about buying a house as we conduct this
report in conjunction with a title search and can advise you whether you
should or should not purchase as well as the value of the property&
recommendations for the buyer & or seller. Should you be buying and
require our services to oversee this work we charge a set fee according
to time required of us. We do not conduct land surveys due to the
absence of pegs and you need a surveyor who we can arrange for you.
CIVIL CASES & LITIGATION:
10- 30% fee on acceptance but please ask us more questions on your case for FREE

TRANSLATIONS:
We offer translations but prices vary depending on number of pages
& work involved. We can translate into English, Thai, German &
French. We can also arrange in any other language. A basic standard A4
page is 500 baht increasing to 800 baht if larger etc.
LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS:
Ideal for that husband and wife team as cheap to setup but does not
offer you the security like a company. Once formed the remaining fees
are the same as a Company. Fees of 20,000 baht + depending on the work involved which includes govt
fees and ID tax code work. Again the fee depends on what type of
business you wish to perform under this partnership. Should you require
special licenses etc we will quote you. All foreigners applying for a
Limited Partnership must show 2m baht in the bank. A foreigner cannot be
the Director or have the bank account in his/her name?
NON IMMIGRANT B & O VISAS:
We do not offer this service. For new companies the new law requires
a work permit to obtain a B multiple from Penang. If you do not meet the
required criteria you will be only issued single entry. We do however
assist with one year visas for retirees, also residency visas and
those under aged 50 years who can show 3m baht in the Bank immaterial of age. Visas
to the USA, UK etc our Bangkok Office can help for fiancee visas. The USA & all
Embassies now have strict criteria so please ask us.
ONE YEAR WORK VISAS:
Once you are in Business for 12 months and you
have your books audited then you can apply to change your visa to a 1
year non immigrant visa which allows you to process the application in
Thailand & you then do not need to exit the country every 3 months (
if on a multiple visa ). Applies to all Thai Companies & Limited
Partnerships. P.O.A.*
RESIDENCY VISAS:
please note the fee does not include the Government fees and charges. Total costs for a residency visa is =
72,000 baht to 100,000 baht*

The cost is 15,000 baht but does not include travel & or expenses
away and tax may vary. 7500 baht before the work permit is initiated & 7500 baht on
completion. Go to work permit section to see requirements. Due to the
changed laws with work permits we will levy charges on a case by case
basis.

When a shareholder sells his share or the
company changes & new shareholders are now required the Company
change costs vary. Again this may depend if the company requires
