Heard from a friend that his UK friend registered company in Bangkok under his GF name and open a restaurant + bar and he is working as a manager obtained Non immig B Visa and WP by supporting the same company. Is it really works?

Answer summary

A UK national registered a business in Bangkok using his girlfriend's name and is managing it with a Non-Immigrant B Visa and Work Permit. This raises questions about the legality and effectiveness of operating a business in Thailand under a Thai partner's name.
