Hello, my question is regarding getting a visa for Thailand and operating a business. Will the government issue you a work visa if you have a legitimate business that allows you to hire Thai people as your workforce? For example, my husband and I have an online business, however some of our products will be sourced in Thailand and need someone(s), locally to help make the products.

You need to do a lot more research, online or not, you will need 2 million Baht registered capital and 4 employees for each work permit.
