@Tod ********

I understood your point

Ok tod ,,BTW IT isnt looking ,,I have already sourced ,but as demand increases and IT Will I Will need to resource some where else .

My question is an initial 90 days then i can get Extension in Thailand UP to one year ?

But yes Will start My Owner topic .

As I Will be flying back to UK in next few seeks IT is about getting the visa from that Embassy in London ,not a neighboufing country in Southeast Asia ,though imam from a neighbouring country to England

The consulates in UK dont issue visas they all gave to be approved by the Embassy in London first before issue

Whats the rule with working for a Thai they have 51% of the Company and I have 49%

Basiclly I am the native speaker WHO can answer all the questions accurately ON Process and materials to customers in UK as well as maling sure the qualify Control is accurate

@Luke *******

thanks IT looks like Its the IB visa I need ..I Will ask the supplier if he is part of the BOI

Possibly this is the section that applies to me .

2.3 Non-Immigrant Visa Category “IB” (Investment and Business Visa) is issued to foreign citizens employed to work on investment projects which are under the auspices of the Board of Investment of Thailand (BOI). Such projects must be involved in or bring benefit to Thailand in the following ways:

- Export-promotion

- Increasing employment

- Utilising local raw materials

- Projects engaging the provinces

Phil Bedford I’m sure there are ways to get a business visa without forming a Thai company ,

I am buying from Thai companies ,the raw material is here that’s all

@Phil ********

3 months is no good for me .

1 year I am after

@Colin *********

i would be working for myself but obviously using Thai companies to source materials and make the products .so confused by last two replies

Hi Phil

Can you tell me more about the requirement .

I am thinking about getting a multi entry business visa for 1 year as I need to research bamboo and suppliers for my products .

I am already getting samples from a Bangkok company .

Would a letter from them be helpful .

How long did the whole process take as I’m only in uk for 2 months and total cost

Thanks
