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?

Use Wise. The exchange fee is similar about 0.48% but you can then pay into a Thai bank for ฿44.76.

Get a receipt for the TM30.

What are you interested in?

Good choice.

Sooner or later immigration will probably stop you. There’s no set number of times you can do this but if they think you are abusing the visa exemption they will refuse entry.

If you want to stay longer then look at the other visa options, DTV for instance.

I would try entering visa free with the 60 day visa exemption twice then get a multiple entry tourist visa for the other two trips. This is just to be safe as they are getting more strict on this now.
