the lawyer you go to for company formation will handle work permits and visas. It's a standard thing they do. Keep in mind that you will need a work permit together with the business (Non-B) visa in order to actually do any work for your own company. Otherwise, with only the Non-B visa, you are very limited to only certain activities like attending business meetings, and can't actually work at your own company. To get a work permit, you must hire 4 Thai staff to qualify, and must have a minimum paid in capital into your company, all of which the lawyer will explain to you.
The company that hires you handles it through their own lawyer. Unless you mean you have started a company, in which case your company's lawyer will arrange your work visa.
Sounds like you are planning to be one of the rule breakers, and unfortunately, like many Chinese, they think it is OK to not respect the law. This is why legit Chinese businessmen have to suffer because of too many Chinese in Thailand thinking the law doesn't apply to them.
In case you are Chinese ethnicity and/or targeting Chinese tourists, be particularly aware that the Thai government has specifically been cracking down on Chinese tours, as Chinese tour operators are frequent offenders.
not true, they accept passports as ID. The issue is what visa you hold. They accept Non-B with work permit, or Elite visa, for example. Multiple people I know, including myself, qualified and re-qualified, and none of us have Thai IDs.
Completely wrong information. The 2 options for Americans are either 60 day free visa exempt entry (which is NOT a visa on arrival. Visa on Arrival is a different entry scheme where some nationalities must PAY to buy a visa on arrival granting a 15 day stay). OR Americans can buy a tourist visa/e-visa that also grants the exact same 60 day stay. There is no 90 day e-visa. The visa has a validity period of 90 days to use it to enter the country, but grants a 60 day stay once used. Both visa exempt entries and tourist visas can be extended 1 time to get the extra 30 days. In most cases, there is no reason for an American to get a tourist visa since a free visa exempt entry grants the exact same length of stay.
Do you really have an actual single entry tourist visa, which grants a 60 day stay per entry? This visa is largely irrelevant for most people, now that visa exempt entry gives a free 60 day stay to 93 different nationalities, including Brits. Unless you have a special situation where you needed a tourist visa, just enter via visa exempt entry by just showing your passport and being stamped in free.
you're wrong but you don't care if every single person commenting is telling you the same thing. I will join in because hopefully if a few dozen people all say the same thing that you are wrong, you'll finally back down.
It's not confusing at all. Sounds like you need to read an article on the Thai addressing system. The main address for your project or development is 19 Soi 5. Your specific unit is #1. This could either mean you live in house #1, or for condos, in apartment #1. In other countries the address would be written more like 19 Soi 5, Unit 1.
