What is the right visa for freelancers to work legally in Thailand?

David ***********

@Wanalee ************

Yes, your husband can own 49%. 35% invites less scrutiny. But as your husband is married to you (a Thai) you do not need to set up a company at all. Spouse visa plus work permit against your registered business is all you need.

Can I register a truck in my name in Thailand without a proper visa?

David ***********

@Jeff ********

As foreigner, you will never get registered in a Thai house book unless you get Permanent Residency .. which is very hard to get and is likely to take ten years.

Getting a Certificate of Residency is easy. It's just a piece of paper that confirms where you are staying. It takes from between a day to a week to get.

Open it in your 1st week you'll still have 3 weeks left on your non o visa to (HAVE TIME TO SEASON YOUR FUNDS) to apply for extension.

You can get non-O (retirement) visas from some countries but not others.

It's not true that "all visas can be obtained outside Thailand" ... for example, non-O (retirement) visas cannot be obtained in Australia.

Is it possible to get a 60-day TR visa approved before flying to Thailand on the 23rd?

David ***********

@David ******

You can (in general) arrive on a 30-day visa-exemption and extend 30 days. You should check that your home country will issue a Thailand Pass for a visa-exempt entry.

Can I apply for a Non-O retirement visa from within Thailand?

@Ray ****

It's also the law of the land that people applying for marriage extensions can use the combined income-plus-asset method to qualify for those extensions. But I don't know of any province that actually allows it. I know enough to have got by.

@Ray ****

Using phrases like "the law of the land" here makes you sound fresh off the boat. Provincial Immigration chiefs have quite a bit of discretionary power. This place doesn't operate like a typical western country.

@Russell ********

There was never any requirement to season funds before your initial application.

Seasoning prior to extensions used to be three months; now it's two months.

It's not incorrect information .... some provinces will do it; others will not.
