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.

Seeking referral for an attorney to set up a business under the Amity treaty from someone who has done it already.

How can I try to long term visa and to get Thai passport ,how long takes time to get Thai nationality as an Iranian guy.

Does anyone know where should I ask and what document do I needs?!

I'm asking this question in reverse this is about Thais getting work visa's to go to Australia , I own a company and employ many foreigners in Australia on WHV but my partner is thai and I would really like to get her brother to Australia to work for me, even if it is only a short period, I've asked Australian solicitors and they tell me Australia has no agreement with thailand so the old 457 doesn't apply and never met a thai on a WHV am I missing an obvious solution to this issue ??

Good firm lawyers for expats?

A history question if I may. How long has the 800,000 requirement for retirement visas been in effect. Has it always been that figure ? Or lower beforehand ?

What a substantial benefit for Thai banks to have that in their coffers and use in the international markets to shore up the Bhat. And how many retirees pass on, or leave LOS, and those funds are never withdrawn ?

Wonder how many people are about to lose their house because they thought they can go around Thai law to own property through a Thai company.

Hi All

My friend has valid thailand stay extension stamp with multiple entry till 2024. But his work permit was cancelled in May 2023 and he left thailand as soon as his work permit was cancelled without cancelling his non-b extension stamp. Is it possible for him to enter thailand by applying tourist visa or get VOA next month for tourism purpose.

I would like to know whether embassy will provide tourist visa or get VOA if he is having valid non-b extension stamp till 2024 (WP cancelled) already in the passport? Please suggest. Thank you

Corrrct me where I am wrong here;

There is a maximum amount of time a person can stay in the country on multiple tourist visas in a year correct?

Is that 6 months total time?

Is the total time over a calendar year or any 12 month period?

I’m noticing teaching jobs that are part time do not provide work permits. I have been assured by a prospective employer, immigration doesn’t want to bother with the odd English teacher working without the right permit. I’m here on a non-o visa through marriage. How much trouble could one get into working without a work permit?
