PEO Services in Thailand
15/06/2022
If you are considering expanding your business to Thailand, your first consideration may have been setting up a company ou une representative office. However, if you want to have foreign employees starting to work as soon as possible or would prefer to test the market before establishing a legal entity, one alternative is to use a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) service, also known as a sponsored Work permit.
Points clés
- Work permit & visa provided – The PEO company will provide a visa and work permit to the foreign employees.
- Limited investment – no need to set up a company, invest capital and hire local employees.
- Payroll & tax services – The PEO company will handle the payroll and compliance for the personal income tax of the employees.
What is a PEO service
In a nutshell, a PEO provides employee management services and administrative assistance. Such services and assistance includes payroll processing, onboarding, recruiting, benefits management, and HR services.
Un EoR vous permet d'enregistrer vos employés auprès des autorités compétentes en utilisant une société en Thaïlande comme employeur officiel.
- Établir les protocoles de paie, y compris les montants des salaires, les contrats de travail thaïlandais, etc.
- Procéder à la distribution des salaires mensuels au personnel en respectant les protocoles préalablement convenus.
- Assurer l'organisation et le paiement de toutes les contributions requises en matière d'assurance sociale, de retenues à la source (WHT) et d'impôt sur le revenu personnel (CIT).
- Procéder à la redistribution des remboursements mensuels.
What is the structure of a Professional Employer Organization?
PEOs hire employees directly and handle onboarding and administrative tasks like processing international payroll and tax distributions to Thai authorities on behalf of its clients.
While the employee is legally the employee of the PEO service and under the control of the PEO service, the client still maintains the day-to-day management over the employees. Essentially, a PEO serves as the “employer of record” for insurance and tax purposes and is responsible for all the administrative and compliance issues relating to the employee in relation to Thai Labor Law and employment regulations.
How long does it take to obtain a sponsored work permit?
The PEO process takes at least one month. The client has to provide a detailed job description which matches the profile of the future employee. A copy of the employees diplomas, CV and certificate of employment from their previous employers are also required.
Upon successful acceptance of the application, an appoinment will be made at the One stop service center (OSS – Chamburi square) within 5 to 8 days. This appointment will take approximately 3 hours, and during this time the employee will have his visa, work permit and re-entry permit issued. The visa and work permit are usually issued for one year and can be renewed on a yearly basis.
What are the benefits of using a PEO?
PEO services are provided by experts in human resources, tax, legal, and payroll functions. Having such an arrangement with a PEO service can often allow a company to begin their operations in Thailand quickly.
Some of the most important benefits of using a PEO include:
Faster Market Entry
A PEO service means that your company does not have to wait for the approval of the company registration or apply for things such as business licences and other costly things associated with establishing an entity in Thailand. This means that you can enter the market faster and take advantage of opportunities quickly.
Payroll Solutions
One of the challenges for foreign companies expanding to Thailand is implementing a compliant payroll system. Countries like Thailand have different laws regarding payroll, and it is difficult for foreign companies to understand the nuances of the Thailand employment law and regulations. A PEO service removes this burden.
