MOVING TO THAILAND
Thailand is renowned as one of the world’s most sought-after destinations for expatriates: not only for its stunning natural beauty and friendly populace but also for its extremely low cost of living. Additionally, the cosmopolitan atmosphere has made the job market increasingly accessible for Germans in Thailand. For those considering moving to Thailand, it’s essential to know that initially, only a valid passport is required for entry. Tourists are granted a 30-day visa-free stay upon arrival. For longer stays, an extension must be requested from the Immigration Office in Bangkok or sometimes from local branches. However, to reside and work in Thailand, a valid work permit is essential, requiring the completion of numerous forms. While obtaining a “Permanent Resident Permit” is possible, it’s limited to approximately 100 applicants annually. Alternatively, a Non-Immigrant Visa is available, categorized as M, O, B, and ED. M is for filmmakers, O is suitable for retirees receiving at least 1,200 euros in monthly pension, B is for business purposes allowing employment and business ownership, while ED is for education purposes. We, the team at OTC global GmbH, offer reliable transport services, making your move to Thailand significantly more cost-effective and hassle-free than organizing it privately. We’re here to advise you on all matters related to the costs of moving to Thailand.
SECURE TRANSFER AND PROFESSIONAL LOGISTICS
For those considering working in Thailand, it’s crucial to understand that the working conditions are generally challenging, especially for employees. A work permit is required, granted only with a minimum salary of 60,000 baht. Additionally, for entrepreneurs, the country has limited appeal, as starting a business in Thailand requires forming a joint venture with a Thai national owning at least 51% of the company. Therefore, Thailand is primarily suitable for expatriates who can rely on retirement income or capital assets for their livelihood. We’re here to guide you on all aspects of your move from Germany to Thailand: with our secure transfer, professional logistics, and meticulous organization, we’re your reliable partner equipped with in-depth knowledge of local rules, laws, and customs regulations.
