Since you have a baby on the way might as well get married so your requirement for employees will be cut in half

OR put the business in the wife's name and get a marraige visa for yourself in order to stay in Thailand.

Depending on the business I would go with the later option, specially if it is a business you can just run from home.

Running a small business as a foreigner owner is just too expensive to do in Thailanf.

The requirements just don't favor startups for foreigners.

Don't pay attention to the people in this group who critize you for wanting to cut costs, they are just jealous losers.

at this point if I were you I would avoid airports.

Second I exit and go to my embassy to get a new passport. Yes it links to your old passport but when you have a line of hundreds of people the immigration officer only looks at the stamps in your passport not your history. They will look at your history if you get called to the side.

I would contact the visa run company that leaves from OnNut Tesco Lotus parking lot. They will be able to tell you if they can do a visa run safely.

I just went to Ban Laem a few days ago. It was a breeze. Defiantely do NOT go to Poipet.

If you have many stamps on your passport, covid extensions and bogus volunteer visa it is recommended you use a visa run company.

Ban Pakkad does. I did 2 months ago.

Why the need to cancel? I had an Ed visa and another type of non-o in the past. I never canceled and just left the country.

Depends on the family. The parents of my last thai gf didn't want dowry at all.

the nameless visa agency.

I think it is impossible to give you any clear answer because we don't know your lifestyles, age, standards of living and city where you plan to live. My health insurance covers up to 500k usd w a higher deductible, I am healthy in my mid 40s so my insurance is only in cases of emergency cost 20k baht a year.

Cost of living in Bkk is much higher than other parts of the country. Do u plan on living in bkk or another province?

A descent 3 bedrooms condo is about 40k baht in the city in a good area.

Electricity if u can live without AC is around 1000 baht. With AC running 2500 baht and up.

I chose to live in the center of the city so I don't need a car. Traffic is truly awful.

@Anthony ********

when did u do it? Before covid the immigration there was not allowing visa runs in that border

@Dahni ******

you don't do Poi Pet for a visa run, it was the NO-GO border pre-covid for visa runs.

Either the border w Laos or the 2 small borders in Chantaburi or the one in Trat.
