Answer summary
The user is looking to rent a bungalow resort in Thailand for an extended period and inquires about the visa requirements for themselves, their partner, and their child. Comments indicate the possibility of Thai privilege and elite visas, but highlight restrictions with working under these visa types. A business in Thailand would require local ownership, a business visa, and a work permit for employees. Advisers recommend consulting with a Thai lawyer for detailed guidance due to complexities in establishing residency and conducting business in Thailand.

I live near an abandoned resort , the couple separated , guy went back to the UK broke.

The resort , in isaan , is up for sale.

Cheaper then renting for 20 years and would make a great eco resort.

As for visas , education visa and do a school , for tourists too , on the resort.

Have you lived in Thailand before? Speak Thai? Got lots of money for lawyers?A Thai majority owner partner? If you're having trouble figuring out what visas to get you should rethink going into business. It's a minefield littered with the corpses of a million dreams.

Can't have elite visa and run a local business/ or work permit.

Elite is for people who making money outside the country or already made there money.

You're best off setting up a Thai company hiring some locals and sponsoring your own visa through the company.

You will need a Thai company 51% shares in Thai and then business visa and work permit

You will need to speak to a Thai lawyer who sets these type of companies up

I think a Thai elite visa don’t allow you to work

for a Thai priviage visa 20+ year, there charging 5,000,000 that £113,636 total rip off. Better doing the quarterly visa or every month going cross borders for weekend breaks

You will presumably need a company to run the bungalows and if you want a work permit you will need to employ at least four Thai workers. Theres no visa for owning a small business like a few bungalows.

Speak to a lawyer/accountant first check out costs see if its worth it.

Could get elite visa but then wouldnt be able to work
