What are the obligations and expenses after obtaining a Start Up Smart S Visa in Thailand?
Hi guys! Did anyone open Start up company in Thailand (Smart S Visa)? I understand requirements that are for applying for Visa (pitch deck, 600k thb,health insurance). But i didnt find any information about what obligations and expenses there are once your visa is approved (im looking for 2 year Startup). Do i need employ Thai people with Smart S same as with regular Business Visa? Do i need have Thai partner (shareholder) or no? Do i have to have an accountant or i can keep tracking of my finances? Are there any other monthly expenses? Or anything else I should know!
Thank you 😊
Thank you 😊

A Thai company of which you hold min 25% of the capital and must be in one of the approved industries. I don't see anything about performance criteria but I'd be surprised if that is not asked somewhere down the line.
