I have sooooo many questions on not only visa advice, but also legal matters from importing some of my personal furniture to importing one or two of my cars also. Then comes all the legal matters of starting a business there and what types I can do. Then housing has many questions too regarding how the land lease is handled legally, or is condo better or potentially pay the big bucks to own the land outright as a foreigner. I have learned a lot of basics in this group, but have many more questions that I need cleared up before deciding to move there.

Where should I go to get my specifics answered? Thai embassy? Thai immigration or immigration lawyer? Is there somewhere I can get correct advice in my country (US)? I want to make sure i know everything i can before selling everything including my biz only to find out i can only twiddle my thumbs and drink beer once I move there. Haha.

Thanks for any advice. Have tried Thai gov websites for answers, but the fine print seems to be missing.

Hey everyone and thanks in advance for your advice. My partner and I are in a fortunate position where we are moving to Thailand, and have the means to support ourselves while we explore our dreams on what we want to do with our lives career wise.

I'm an ecologist, and want to be able to volunteer my time and expertise but also learn from the various conservation projects going on around Thailand. I see Chiang Mai Uni has a great forest ecology department so I'll be dropping in there for a chat with the staff. If I've done my homework correctly I will need the Non immigrant business visa with a work permit to do any of this kind of hands on volunteer work. The question is, am I able to apply for this before I go to Thailand and before I've actually secured any of these volunteer ideas?

We're looking at a longer term visa option with the ability to become residents in the future

Hi everyone. Hope you're well.

Currently I am holding an ED visa which expires at the end of the month. Is it possible to receive a volunteer visa close to my ED visa's expiry date?
