Can I set up a business and be a shareholder on a retirement visa in Thailand?

John **********

You can only own a maximum of 49% of a Thai business, unless you're American and its set up under the amity treaty. You can't do any sort of work in or for the business. Only be a passive shareholder, if you want to be involved in any way, even as a director, you would need a different visa.
