We register your employees with national social insurance programs, handle contributions, and manage all mandatory filings for compliance.
To support your hiring and compliance efforts, please review the updated minimum salary thresholds for foreign employees working in Thailand. These vary depending on the employee’s nationality and whether the company is BOI-promoted.
Non-BOI promoted companies: General Work Permit Requirements (Based on Nationality)
When applying for (new) or renewing a work permit for a foreign employee in Thailand,
the Immigration Bureau & Department of Labour requires minimum monthly salaries based on nationality.

BOI-promoted companies: BOI Salary Requirements (Based on Position)
If your company is BOI-promoted, please be informed that the Board of Investment (BOI) has announced new salary thresholds, effective 1 October 2025.
| Position | Minimum Salary by Position (BOI Requirements) |
|---|---|
| Executives | ≥ THB 150,000/month |

Important Reminder:
These salary thresholds apply exclusively to BOI‑promoted companies. To ensure your visa and work permit applications sail through without a hitch, the salary you state in the employment contract must be fully backed by your payroll records and official tax filings (renewals require a valid PND 1 Kor or PND 1). Any inconsistency or omission risks costly delays, or worse, outright rejection of your applications. Please double‑check all documentation before submission to keep your process on track.

A PEO (Professional Employer Organisation) becomes the legal employer of your workforce in Thailand, handling payroll, tax, HR compliance, and work permits. Your employees work directly for your business operationally, but are legally employed through the PEO.
A staffing agency, on the other hand, typically provides temporary workers and may not offer full HR and legal support. PEOs are ideal for long-term workforce expansion without setting up a local entity.
Companies use a PEO when they want to hire employees in Thailand without opening a legal entity. It’s cost-effective, fast (setup in as little as 48 hours), and ensures compliance with Thai labour laws. PEOs handle everything from work permits, payroll, tax, social insurance, to employee onboarding, allowing you to focus on business growth.
Yes. ATA’s PEO solution provides legal work permits and visas for foreign employees. We sponsor your workers and manage all immigration procedures, allowing you to onboard international talent in full compliance with Thai law even without your own entity.
Not at all. While the PEO is the legal employer, you retain full operational control over your employees’ day-to-day tasks, performance management, and work responsibilities. ATA Services simply manages the legal, HR, and administrative backend.
PEO solutions are popular with tech firms, consulting agencies, NGOs, startups, and multinational companies entering Thailand. They’re also ideal for companies under hiring freezes, undergoing mergers, or seeking low-risk market entry.
