Starting a business in Thailand and need to have an address for my business. Going to move into a new condo, but also have the option of paying someone to use their address. I've been told that I'll need to pay a percentage of the monthly rent, but that this could be done on a different contract with the rent being lowered.

The other option would include me paying a one time fee and then paying a few percentage a month of 5000 baht or less.

How much should this really be costing me? I've also had a third offer made to me of a 1 time few of 15000 baht and 150 baht a month.

Also, I'm thinking of offering a 10-15k bonus if we get successfully connected with a business. What do you guys think?

Yeah the English is important, because I'll be the only one providing instructions. Also this will only be 2 hours a day. Thanks for the suggestions.

We are going to hire someone to call Thai businesses for us. It will be a part time job in which the employee would work 2 hours a day 5 days a week. They would call businesses and once we find a business to buy from we would be able to offer a decent bonus to the person making the phone calls. They would not need to do any negotiating or anything, just inquire whether the business has what we want and then offer them our price. They would also be at least temporarily laid off once we make our purchase, because we're going to ship it overseas and have wait time. This may eventually transition into full time work. Our requirements are that they speak decent English and that they can follow instructions well.

How much would you play someone like this? I'm not sure what the bonus is going to be yet.

I'm an American who arrived here by air and got 30 days. Can I extend my stay by 14 days at immigration. Or is the extension shorter? Or does it not exist at all?

Just a note here, I didn't actually apply. But the consulate employee said (paraphrase) "Because you don't have the proper documentation, if you applied we wouldn't be able to guarantee a visa, so it's best if you just stay for 30 days"

Yes, I told them I had a plane ticket out of Thailand also and it was still a no go. I am self employed but do all my business in my own name so didn't have any proof of a business registration.

Thought I'd write up my story here for the future reference of anyone trying to obtain a tourist visa through the consulate in Osaka. This probably applies to Tokyo as well, but don't know. I'm an American and I'm traveling in Japan at the moment getting ready to go to Thailand and intend on staying longer than 30 days. So I went to the consulate here in Osaka to inquire about bending the rules stated on their website, which are incredibly strict for getting the visa. They basically dragged it out and had me sitting and waiting in between questions, but it basically came down to me not being able to fulfill the requirements of this list.

①Employee of Company : Certificate of employment (original in Englishl) signed and sealed by employer.

②Owner of Company: Business registration

③Student: Certificate of enrolment ( original in English) signed and sealed by principle of school.

④Preschool Child: Copies of parents’ passport and an original of family register.

⑤Other types of applicant: - Bank Statement of Applicant’s account(issued by banks in Japan), - Guarantee Letter(download from this website), - Copy of passport(or driver’s license) of a guarantor with his/her original signature. (A guarantor must be an adult who remains in Japan. An alien without the permission of permanent residence in Japan cannot be a guarantor. If a guarantor is a family member of the applicant, please prepare original of family register, too.)

I was of course unable to fulfill them because they all require Japanese articles, but they seemed willing to alter the rules to allow American versions of the above. Anyway I walked out of there without a visa so I'll be stuck with a 30 day landing permission and a visa run to the border.

I'll be flying into Thailand on a one-way ticket with no visa. I get 30 days landing permission as an American. I plan on doing a visa run when my 30 days are nearly up. I know the airline will probably hassle me about not having a ticket out of Thailand so I have been looking into refundable tickets. The problem is that I've also read about the hassles of getting that refund. What airlines have simple clear cut refund policies?

I may be able to get a visa also, but I'm now in Japan and from reading the consulates website here they seem to also require proof that I'm leaving Thailand.
