hey there,
Sorry for being so distant. I have not logged on in 3 months I think, but Andy from Sweden said someone had a post for me so I went in to answer..
Regarding your questions...
how is it going and was there any probelms etc.
No problems. Was a little worried with the company set up, work permit, etc etc., but it all worked out smoothly. I found a great attorney Greg Lange at Sunbeltasia..They can help you with the whole set up. I paid him almost 50K baht I think in total. So now Im flying....:-) I think there is cheaper out there but I rather pay the money to someone with lots of experience....
Was it easy setting up the company.
Yes. You should get a multiple entry visa in your home country (3 months) if possible. Then fly to Bangkok and he will do the rest.
I went to his office in Ratchada in bangkok...They need visa, passport and then you have to fill out and sign a whole bunch of papers (at least 50 pages in thai language)...You need to bring your university diplomas if you have and also a resume....You also need a reference from one of your employers...I think thats about it..The whole thing took about 3-4 weeks I believe...By the way...I have my company set up in bangkok..Its easier to get work permit there than it is here in Phuket...At least this is what I have been told from my accountant...
what happened about the paid up capitial.
He takes care of that...
hope it's all working out for you and your still in phuket.
Thanks a lot Baz....Im still here enjoying life, except from when i am working..LOL...
