Hello Everyone, I have a company in Singapore (SG in short) with some profits from businesses in other countries (not Thailand, not Singapore). Everything is legal FYI, no gambling or bitcoin or any of those, so this is not an issue. I visit Thailand every year and I am starting to plan my relocation/long stay in Thailand for a few years and maybe more :)
# My questions are as follows:
* First and foremost, is there any way my company in SG could help me get a long-term visa in Thailand? Business or otherwise. Which path should I take to advance with this?
* Would I be able to open a Thai bank account? Would I be able to withdraw dividends/salary from my SG company to a Thai bank account?
* Finally, I would like to pay my taxes in Thailand (if I live there, they deserve it). Could you recommend some accounting firms that deal with Visa/Taxes issues such as these, with international angle, specifically relating to SG if possible.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the possibility of leveraging their Singapore company for obtaining a long-term visa in Thailand, opening a Thai bank account, and paying taxes there. They received various responses suggesting consultation with a local business lawyer, the need for local partners for setting up a business, and considerations regarding taxation for expatriates. Alternative options like Thaielite cards and immigration costs were also mentioned.
