How can I open a bar in Thailand without marrying a Thai national, and what visa options are available?

Steve *******

if he was asking about opening a cafe, a dog shampoo place or a shoe shop, I'd be a lot more positive.

But a bar? In my 8 years here I've seen at least 50 bars open and go bankrupt within 6 months. It's financial suicide.

How can I open a bar in Thailand without marrying a Thai national, and what visa options are available?

Steve *******

1. Don't do it.

2. You don't need to marry anyone or have a special visa to own a business here.

3. You do need a Thai partner who owns 51% of the business.

4. Don't do it.

How does leaving Thailand affect my DTV application while awaiting approval?

Steve *******

The rule is that you cannot leave the place where you applied until your DTV is approved, or your application will get cancelled.

You check a box agreeing to that when you apply.

What is the earliest I can apply for a DTV visa for Muay Thai training in Chiang Mai if I’m planning to come in September next year?

Steve *******

You can apply whenever you want, but most embassies will not approve an application if you're planning to enter the country more than 3 months in the future. It's 3 months. Not 45 days.
