You won't be granted the visa for such a set up, you need a million documents to secure a non b visa and you won't pass any of the terms.

Yeah,I know these.But some people just rent a warehouse and keep doong their business.When the police come,they would give them some tips.Maybe I will go this way,but I need to apply a legal visa first.

@Joe ***********
You'll need to formalize your company. You won't be able to own the business outright, and will only be a 49% shareholder. You'll also need capital of about 3M THB (IF I remember correctly)You should be able to rent a warehouse without a business license, but the larger you get, the more attention you'll attract

In that case, I recommend keeping it quiet and not telling others. Activity
