Is opening a restaurant and hiring 4 Thai nationals enough for a business visa in Thailand?
Talking about business visa is it enough only to open some restaurant and hire 4 Thai national people ? Thank you
Answer summary
The conversation discusses whether simply opening a restaurant and hiring four Thai nationals is sufficient for obtaining a business visa in Thailand. It highlights that the business must involve roles that Thais cannot fulfill, such as hiring a specialized non-Thai chef, alongside capital requirements and tax records. Additionally, there's a mention of needing to deposit 2 million baht as evidence of financial stability to pay employees.

Business visa only covers jobs that a Thai person can't do...so that doesn't include restaurants work unless it's something spectacular. Plus you have to show tax records of the company...so ud have to start the business, run it, pay taxes on all employees etc before you could ever even apply and at most ud be a consultant

yes it has to be a job that Thais can't do like I said a specialty.....this dude ain't no chef lol....also the amount to put into starting a business and just getting a normal visa is way cheaper u know

false. Hiring a non thai chef is a very valid reason.
