I love reading comments where the commenter presumes the OP knows NOTHING ABOUT ANYTHING because they have come on a forum and asked a question 😂

Ive been going to Thailand for years and Im quite aware of Thai culture and the do's and dont's. Probably more than most! Especially ignorant and arrogant fools like you and Nek 😁

Ive run my own business here for 40 years.

Bless you, what do you do? Prop bars up? 😉

@Allan ******

Thanks yeah I think its 4 Thais to 1 farang worker but my WP would be the only concern I wouldnt have any foreign workers

Do you know if I have to apply from here or can I set the wheels in motion once Im there?

@Phillip *****

Cheers yeah I looked on the website but like most things I cant find a definitive answer, all pretty ambiguous

Is it something I could commence once in Thailand? Like from a tourist visa?

Im old enough for a retirement but I cant work on that and I dont want to vegitate

I prefer to deal face to face so if its something I can commence once Im there I'll probably do that. I dont want to get there expecting to kick on only to be told I need to apply in my home country

@Joy *******

In the UK we have defence and prosecution solicitors and if it goes to Crown Court where you have a jury, the case will be taken on by a barrister (the ones in the wigs)

@Joy *******

Yeah thanks I did wonder how complicated it might be so an agent would be a good idea

I googled which brought up the Thai immigration site and said more or less the same. Id rather rely on genuine experience of someone and as mentioned can discuss anything to be aware of, as you pointed out, an agent would be a good idea unless a solicitor can guide me as well as an agent as Id need a solicitor anyway for the contract. If they say they dont help with form filling Id then contact and agent 👍

Plenty of FB groups like this about but beware as scammers use sites like these to extract deposits from unsuspecting people.

New policy? Is it legal or just knocked up by some office junior? Doesnt look like a bill passed in govt 🤷

Have you considered a DTV for your wife until she reaches retirement age of 50?

DTV lasts 5 years

@Jason *****

Prob best to do that before you set off from your home country in case they pull you at your departure airport and ask why your dates dont match. Ive always gone on a 1 way flight without visa and never been asked but always best to be covered

Not sure if you need any recommendations but if its only a few days you will be needing, Id go to Da Nang. The airport is 10 mins from the beach ideal for a quick visit as opposed to the bigger cities which Id recommend a week for
