Yes. With an Indian passport you can get 60 days visa exemption.

Because renting a place on a one year lease does not look like tourism. It looks like an attempt to live in the country.

Not many are refundable on the day.

@Steve ******

That’s nice to know.

@Matthew ********

Ok, I stand corrected.

@Matthew ********

There are no ATMs before immigration. That’s the problem.

@Jacob *****

That’s your answer. Get a visa.

Given that you are trying to live in Thailand, I suggest you get the appropriate visa.

You are probably best to hire a lawyer to help you with this. You need to be aware of the legislation. Your business must be 51% owned by Thai nationals. And that has to be a financial stake, not sleeping partners. You have to hire 4 Thais for every one foreigner. Also, the foreigner must be paid ฿30,000 a month (this may have been revised but it’s that last I heard).

So, is your planned business suited to that model? Have you got Thai investors?

@Steve ******

If you leave in under 24 hours do they still need to file the TM30?
