the visa exempt process or any tourist visa does not give you any right to live in Thailand for 20 years. I think you are the muppet in this case ๐๐
1 - Have you spent some time in Thailand learning the culture and how business operates here.
2 - Can you speak the language - Thai
3 - Do you have experience operating any business
4 - Do you have experience in foreign exchange transactions and converting cash
5 - Are you hoping this can facilitate money laundering ๐ฎ
6 - Have you prepared a basic business plan covering an analysis of existing business in this field, how you would compete, what legislation and licensing you need to follow, your financial projections (including income, expenses, profit expected, initial capital to get started)
Once you can answer all these in the affirmative you can ask your question again
I am not a visa expert but I have done a lot of reading on many forums. It seems to me that you are trying to combine the two methods - the 800,000 required and the 65,000 per month option. Separate the two in your thinking. I think you need 800,000 each initially and then once in Thailand you show 65,000 per month deposits for next year extension.
