FAQ

What is the difference between a PEO and a staffing agency?

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.

Why would a company use a PEO?

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.

Can I legally hire foreign employees in Thailand through a PEO?

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.

Do I lose control of my employees under a PEO arrangement?

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.

What industries or company types benefit most from using a PEO in Thailand?

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.
