Tod Daniels true...but as the OP is based, I believe, In Koh Phangan...its relevant. She also says she does not have 4 Thai staff...and so an extension of stay is also irelevant.
I also have an extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai and it was VERY doc and visit intensive. Mine is work funded and not using banked funds. I think what you mean is it's easier if have the required funds too. I guess mine was the most difficult combination possible 🤣
Me too and I have a company and a work permit...and it took TONS of paperwork, two trips to immigration in Samui so far and another to come, a visit to my house to 'inspect' it also...maybe it's easier in your location...
