you are welcome ka

The Treaty of Amity allows U.S. citizens to operate a business in Thailand with similar rights to Thai nationals, meaning you can own 100% of the business without needing a Thai partner, except in industries that are specifically prohibited. Since e-commerce and influencer marketing are not among the restricted categories (banking, land ownership, agriculture, and internal communications), it seems that your planned TikTok Shop agency would fall under the Treaty’s protections.

As for sponsoring your own work permit, yes, you can sponsor your own work permit through your agency, as long as the company is properly registered and meets the financial and legal requirements for work permit sponsorship (such as having a minimum capital and hiring Thai employees). You’ll need to ensure that the business structure and operations are compliant with Thai law for work permit applications.

It’s advisable to consult with a legal expert in Thailand to ensure full compliance with both the Treaty and Thai labor laws.

Regarding your visa extension, you’re right that you will need a TM30. Even though you are staying at your friend’s condo, it is their responsibility (or the condo owner’s) to file the TM30 to notify immigration of your stay. Your friend should be able to do this online or in person at the local immigration office. Once the TM30 is filed, you’ll receive a receipt, which you can use for your visa extension.

For the extension itself, you can apply for a 30-day extension at the immigration office for a fee of 1,900 THB.

Hope this helps, and good luck with the process!

Greetings,

It’s possible to enter Thailand on a one-way ticket with a 60-day tourist visa, but it may raise concerns with the airline or immigration upon arrival, as they often expect proof of onward travel. You may want to check with the airline beforehand. As for your retirement visa, it’s feasible to sort it out while you’re in Thailand, provided you meet the financial and other requirements.

Safe travels and best of luck with your visa!

Yes, that is correct. A new TM30 (notification of residence) is required when you leave and re-enter Thailand, as it is a requirement for foreigners to notify their place of residence upon re-entering the country. Traveling within Thailand does not require filing a new TM30 as long as you stay within the same residence and do not leave the country.

Not sure about the term, if emergency they will ask to paid it in advance.

You may want to contact Pacific Cross directly to clarify any discrepancies or delays with payment. In some cases, hospitals might require you to pay upfront and seek reimbursement later from the insurance company. It’s also helpful to check the specific terms of your policy to ensure the bill falls within their coverage guidelines. Others have had mixed experiences, with some delays in claims processing, but persistence with follow-up calls and emails usually resolves the issue. You could also ask the hospital to contact Pacific Cross on your behalf, as they often have direct lines to insurance providers.

No it's public holiday

If the immigration done the mistake stamp they will fixed and changed for you ka
