Forming business agreements or romantic relationships in Thailand can prove to be rewarding and profitable endeavors for many, however, they are not always free from risk. In many cases, it makes sense to perform some type of check or due diligence before committing yourself and deciding to part with money. We feel that the adage “it’s better to be safe than sorry” is relevant in many cases.
There are numerous paths that can be taken in order to perform due diligence and check an individual or company, with much depending on the circumstances in each case. Background checks are one avenue that can be used to check and verify the information.
If you need to run a background check in Thailand then Bangkok Investigators can help. As a leading private detective agency, we often help our clients to conduct their own due diligence through background screening. Screening can include romantic background checks, Thai girlfriend background checks, employee checks, and business-orientated background checks.
There are a number of different circumstances where running a background check may prove to be beneficial, we will endeavor to explore some of the most common situations in this article.
Romantic background checks in Thailand
Hiring a private investigator to check your Thai partner can often save money, time, and heartache. Performing a background check is one way that a detective agency can help to check and verify your partner’s circumstances.
Background checks typically verify a number of different factors relating to the subject, and may uncover information which could affect or influence your relationship going forward. We can perform standard or enhanced background checks depending on the needs of each client.
If you have started a relationship with someone from Thailand, then a romantic background check can help to check their lifestyle/employment/family circumstances and verify that the subject is who they claim to be. Depending on the case, background checks can include:
- Identity (name, age, gender, photo, address)
- Marital status and marriage/divorce verification
- Child and family verification
- Lifestyle check and verification through personal surveillance
- Social media checks
- Fraud, scam, and blacklists check
- Criminal records check
- Employment/education history check
We have seen a gradual increase in the number of cases that concern dating and romance scams. Particularly if you have met a Thai person through an internet dating website or app, then running a suitable background check on them could help to prevent you from falling victim to a scam.
We would always recommend performing some type of check before sending money to a person that you have not met in real life. If you have met and spent time with your partner on the other hand then a background check can help to provide confidence and peace of mind before taking a step further in the relationship and providing financial support to your partner.
Premarital background checks in Thailand
Whether you are getting married or entering into a serious relationship with a Thai person, it makes sense to perform your own due diligence before committing yourself and making a serious decision about the relationship. Premarital (or prenuptial) background checks are useful in these cases and can offer information on your partner’s history and current circumstances.
Premarital checks can be used to shed light on your partner’s true circumstances, which can help you to make informed decisions about your relationship.
Running a premarital background check may prove to be a wise decision in many different cases, especially if you are paying a dowry/sin sod at your wedding, or if your relationship will involve an element of financial support.
Background checks are completely discreet and the results are strictly private & confidential.
Employment background screening in Thailand
Performing background checks on your applicants is an effective way to check for potential issues which might affect your business.
We have been trusted to perform employment background screening on behalf of clients based locally and around the globe. We can help whether you need to recruit a workforce from Thailand or simply employ one or two staff, such as a nanny or housekeeper/maid in Thailand.
Employment background checks are typically used to help verify the subject’s identity, employment/education history, and to check their criminal records, though they can also encompass other checks depending on the needs and requirements in each case.
Screening employees is an important step for many of our clients, especially if the candidate will be appointed a position of trust within the workplace. Our goal is to make the process as quick and easy as possible.
Business background checks
If you decide to invest in a business or to enter a business arrangement, then it is only prudent to protect your interests and capital by performing some form of due diligence before committing yourself.
Business due diligence can take many different forms depending on the respective circumstances in each case. For foreign-based companies that are looking to do business with Thai firms, a site visit to the subject company may suffice in fulfilling basic due diligence. Other cases will warrant a more thorough investigation.
In some cases, business background checks can be utilized to check on companies and key individuals as part of due diligence.
