TLDR : Answer Summary
To run a company in Thailand, you should apply for a Non-B visa rather than a Non-O visa. The Non-O is typically granted to individuals married to Thai nationals or those with Thai children. Obtaining a Non-B visa can be challenging due to extensive documentation requirements. It's often recommended to apply at a consulate or through the eVisa system instead of the local immigration office.

The business visa is generally a Non B visa. You can get a work permit on a non O if married to a Thai national or have Thai kids but I’m assuming you mean the Non B.

For most companies trying to get a Non B in country is nigh on impossible. Many can’t provide the vast amount of paperwork immigration would need to issue one. And I mean vast.

Usually it’s way easier to have the person visit a nearby consulate and apply there (or via the evisa system where applicable - you have to be in the country of the consulate you are applying to regardless that you are using the evisa system).
