Quick question, I am on a multiple entry OA visa, currently in Thailand. An opportunity has come up but will require me to make a company to purchase it. Can I still effectively be a non working "director, share holder" whilst on this visa?
Answer summary
While holding a multiple entry OA visa in Thailand, you can own a company and be a shareholder, but there are specific conditions. It's permissible to be a non-working director if you do not derive any income from the business while residing in Thailand. Furthermore, if you're officially a managing director, it's advisable to sign documents outside of Thailand or appoint a trusted Thai managing director to handle signatures within the country.

Yes. You can own and trade shares on a Non Imm OA Visa.
yes for shareholder. yes for being a MD but only if you are outside of thailand and then sign from there. not to be MD in thailand and give signatures ( you could appoint a thai MD who will sign for you and who you trust. tricky thing.) be aware that certain signatures with government, revenue, dbd are only allowed when you reside inside thailand.
