ThaiBot Google what clickbait is.

@Jack *******

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.

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.

Welcome to Thai bureaucracy 🤷‍♂️

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.

Go to an ATM and request new login information.

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.

Instead of sitting in a van all day, take a flight to a nearby country and have yourself a mini-vacation. Kuala Lumpur is a good option.

You can leave anytime during those 180 days and when you get back you get another 180 days.

A lot of people seem to think that they're stuck in Thailand for the entire duration of their stamp.

And yes, you can get ONE 180 day extension per entry, but the process requires the same documents you used when applying for the visa, so its easier to just fly out and in.
