ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all!

I have a company established in a different region in East Asia (annual rev. ~ 1M USD) and am planning to apply for the SMART visa type S (6 months) in Thailand because it seems like an easy process and a good way to tap into some networks. 

Should I avoid mentioning the parent company in my business deck or would it be an advantage to do so?

Thanks for the advice in advance.

Are you planning to start a subsidiary in Thailand? Is your existing business in one of the target industries?

I see them as separate companies but the initial starting fund would mostly come from the existing company.

Applying for digital industry, it's a software company.
