@Rodger *******

not too sure what I could confirm here. I have no idea if Brian and Sheila are related, nor whether they have an inter relationship issue. Being that I made up their names and really didn’t want to get in to a gender type discussion I left it to the reader to judge.

I can confirm that entry in to Thailand is up to the immigration officer you hand your passport to. Probably best not to ask their name as it almost certainly won’t be Brian or Sheila.

@Scotty ******

What I forgot to say is that Sheila is having an affair with Brian’s best friend and he’s got wind of it. Probably adding to his bad hair day.

@Peter *********

You seem confused. Many people can’t get a 90 day single entry visa because they don’t qualify for the various options available (being over 50, married to a Thai national, having a Thai child, etc). Many can get a visa exempt entry for 60 days now. The 180 days in Thailand tax rule is a whole different discussion.

@Ceri *******

sans moderators I’d assume.

@Poul *********

That’s completely true. Millions do. Some don’t. But the rant was about all those that reply that “I did X number of times already this year - so you’ll be fine”.

@Declan *********

I see people very occasionally coming to the Phuket office with a PoiPet (Aranyaprathet) border stamp when they come in for an extension or the like. I always ask them how it went for them. Almost always tales of woe. If there is one border in Thailand to avoid it’s that one.

@Tim ********

doesn’t work that way in the Land of Smiles. You can argue the point of law all you like and even hand them the official limit law that the Bangkok Post printed. Probably won’t work. But good luck trying.

@Stephan **********

Yeah I could have said that.

@Pete ******

well possibly “who the fuck would know”. But I’m not the grammar police.

Not sure what we could update? The choices to do so are endless. Perhaps it would be best to speak to a lawyer or accountant and give them the information about the type of business you’d propose to do and see what they say your options are and what sort of costs you could incur.
