I would suggest avoiding that under a DTV visa. While you can open a business under almost any visa or exemption, actually operating it and paying yourself is a different matter. The best approach would be to transfer the money to your Thai partner, have them open the company, and then transition yourself to a director position under a Non-B visa.
- This will allow you to open a personal bank account and receive a salary as a company director.
- You will gain some legal recognition by holding the position of director and may obtain the right of signature. Note that being a director with a Thai residence but without a Non-B visa is generally not possible.
- You will be able to be onsite for trainings, supervisions, etc. You can't work in Thailand on a DTV including working for your own business.
