Hello, thanks for the invitation. I know that there are many Western people living and working in Thailand who are familiar to Thai laws and regulations and could advise me. I currently live with my Thai wife and daughter in EU. I am planning to move to Thailand, where I would buy or rent a small hotel, resort or farm to have some regular income. I am wondering if anyone here has experience with this, and if they have any advice regarding this. I would be happy with any advice. Tnx

So I have the advantage of 2 passports. So my question is what passport is best to use for long stay possibly ever. Uk passport and USA passport. Thanks guys.

Can I open a business in Thailand on DTV visa, or will I have to change my visa?

I have a thai spouse… im too confused abt the visa. I want to do business in Thailand. I will come there on 17th so I think I have time to get the correct VISA on time.

I also have VISA on Arrival which is a tourist VISA which gives me 60 days to stay…

I have been issued a DTV visa, which is valid for five years, allowing me to stay six months per visit. Is a one-way ticket acceptable, or must I book a round-trip ticket? As I will be traveling to Thailand for business, I need to confirm the entry requirements for my initial trip.

I am a Bangladeshi. I am traveling to Chiang Mai in October 2024. I stayed here for 15 days. Chiang Mai is my favorite place to any other province in Thailand. I am interested in doing business here or in any city for Thailand. What is the process to start doing business here?

If anyone can help me with this I would appreciate it.

Hey can you update regarding opening a business and settling in Thailand?

Hi guys, I would like to come to Thailand by the end of August to look for a job or open my own company and stay for at least 6 months.

What visa should apply? Any suggest?

Has anyone else noticed how in the last few years there have been a dozen or so companies that make single serving cups of ice cream? Good quality too..It seems everytime I turn around, I see a new company doing this…some examples include ete, iscoop among others. Many restaurants seem to have their own brand often as well. Almost like there is a big company that makes these ice creams and private labels for different establishments.

Business Question...

Any suggestions or insight on finding thai staff, and meeting the 4 staff social security requirement for WP?

If I hired one full time staff, is it strange or common to ask them if they know three others who would like to receive social security? Is this something a thai (say an elder or young person) would be up for?

Are there any cultural considerations when doing this (does it make someone look bad, seen as a dishonest, etc)? or is it something someone's granny etc would be happy to receive?
