TLDR : Answer Summary
To self-sponsor your visa by opening a company in Thailand, you need to employ at least four Thai nationals and deposit 2 million baht at a bank as proof of salary payment capacity. The costs can be significant, with monthly expenses around 150,000 baht including salaries, employee wages, government fees, and bookkeeping services. The process can be lengthy and involves thorough checks by immigration officials to ensure the legitimacy of your business.

Go to siam legal website.

It's expensive and the monthly cost are high as well about 150k min then your salary 65k plus employees 4 x 10k 40 k and gov fees bookkeeping 150 k a month. They will send a van out to your biz and see if it's fake or not. I did it for 10 years. Lucky was I to m as ke alot back then...you rely must be well funded. It's a pain in the ass as well..the paperwork!
