I did an eVisa from USA almost 2 months ago. Immigration asked for the boarding pass from my last flight which was from Tokyo. They were more interested in checking the COVID requirements at that time
No. You can get an International Driving Permit @ any AAA location in the USA, to be used in conjunction with a valid USA drivers license. Good for 1 year
From reviewing the posts: Best case scenario, non-Thai contributes 100% of financing, Including sweat equity. And immediately owns 48-50% of a business, and 0% of the real estate. With little hope of recovering his initial investment, let alone any capitol gains nor dividends from his investments.
Best case scenario. Non-Thai and Thai never breakup the business. When Non-Thai die Thais get everything. If Thai dies first, Non-Thai gets a major headache and court battles. These are not logical business investments.
If you have to do it, do it like the big boys, form a CORPORATION, everything in corporate name (not wife/ husband / gf), and you have majority voting rights.
Me personally, I will enjoy the beaches, islands, weather, golf, tourist attractions and nightlife. Namaste.
Ask yourself this question: Would you buy property, start businesses, buy cars and trucks... and put everything solely in your wife/gf name, in your home country. No. Than why would you do it in a foreign country?
