Employer of Record Thailand
Hire employees in Thailand without setting up a Thai entity. JST manages local employment, payroll, work permits, tax, social security, and HR compliance.
What is an Employer of Record in Thailand?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that takes on the legal responsibilities of employing staff on behalf of another company. JST HR Solutions acts as the legal employer for your workers in Thailand and Vietnam, handling all employment administration.
This allows international companies to hire local talent quickly and compliantly — without needing to establish a local legal entity, which can take months and significant investment.
