新颁布的BOI公告第8/2568号:对在泰外籍人士就业的影响

前言

2025年6月,泰国投资促进委员会(“BOI”)发布了第Por. 8/2568号通知(“本通知”),针对外籍人员职位审批、安置及延期实施新标准。该通知标志着监管政策的重要转变,对制造业领域的BOI促进企业影响尤为显著。

本简报将解析本通知的核心条款、制定依据及其对雇佣外籍人员企业的潜在影响。

制造业企业外籍雇员比例

本次通知最显著的变化之一是针对BOI促进的制造业企业引入外籍雇员比例进行了限制。该比例要求仅适用于企业总雇员超过100人时,且不区分外籍员工的国籍。

  1. 雇员少于100人的企业可豁免该比例要求。
  2. 雇员超过100人的企业须确保至少70%的劳动力为泰国籍,从而将外籍雇员比例上限控制在30%。

BOI将此举视为促进国内就业、鼓励泰国工人职业发展的政策工具。值得注意的是,该通知在第4.2.4条中设定了例外条款,允许BOI在涉及战略性制造商或无法满足比例要求的情况下行使酌情权。然而,此类例外条款的适用范围尚未明确界定,将根据具体情况个案处理。

外籍人员职位最低薪资门槛

本通知还修订了适用于外籍人员职位的最低薪资标准。尽管此前通知中已包含薪资门槛规定,但本次通知将适用范围扩大至几乎所有级别的外籍雇员。规定的月最低薪资标准如下:

平均月薪(泰铢)优惠费率 (适用于申请人持有相关工作领域学士学位的情况)
高管层级
即:董事长、总裁、首席执行官(CEO)、首席财务官(CFO)、首席运营官(COO)、首席技术官(CTO)、副董事长、副总裁、执行董事、董事总经理、总经理
150,000-
管理层级
例如:生产经理、市场顾问、工厂经理、助理董事总经理、助理副总裁
75,00050,000
运营层级
例如:生产主管、项目协调员、数据分析师、市场顾问、销售主管
50,000-
科学或技术研究员人员75,00050,000
工程职位75,00050,000
IT专家75,00050,000
工作站操作员35,000-

对于新聘任人员,须提交载明外籍人员薪酬的雇佣协议以供核验。若为现有职位的续聘,企业需通过年度预扣个人所得税申报表(P.N.D. 1 Kor)或月度预扣所得税申报表(P.N.D. 1)提供实际收入证明。

本地薪酬要求

历史上,在BOI计划下,外籍人员在某些情况下被允许从海外实体领取薪酬。然而,在新制度下,所有由BOI担保的外籍人员薪资必须通过泰国企业实体发放。该要求适用于所有行业,不仅限于制造企业。 

实施时间线

本通知提出分阶段实施计划如下:

  1. 对于2025年6月5日之后获得BOI证书的企业,新规定将于2025年10月1日生效
  2. 对于所有受BOI促进的企业,无论其BOI证书签发日期如何,相关规定将于2026年1月1日全面生效。 

结语

建议享有BOI特权的企业全面审查其内部雇佣结构和薪酬制度,确保符合新标准。
