@Matthew *****
definately talk to a US tax advisor. The US tax paperwork you have to file for owning a company in Thailand is a nightmare.

My wife is an insurance agent in Thailand and unfortunately no Thai health insurance companies will cover preexisting conditions. All you couls do is to apply and see exactly what they will exclude when they evaluate your application. The Thai companies will generally be cheaper than the international ones. Good luck.

Who knows, they will be dissolving the government mid March to get ready for the election so who knows if anything will get done.

They want photos of you at your residence. Each immigration office can be differednt but for Samat Prakan they want: picture outside of house/building clearly showing house number, second picture in front of house showing whole house, pictures at various locations inside of the house - bedroom, living room, kitchen.

I used Siam Legal to get the fiance visa for my wife about 10yrs ago. Cery happy with their work on this - they were very thorogh i preparing the documents package and preparing my wife for here interview (this was the buggest reason I used them as my wife felt v prepared and confident before the interview).

Agree talk to a reputanle lawyer who is focused on company structures. Too many ways your company can be deemed invalid if it doesnt have a real business generating income, employee questions, file audits tax returns etc. Also can be problems if you try to setup preferential voting rights to maintain comlany control even with 49% share ownership.

Yep. Even the police dont understand it. Will be a mess for some time.
