There are several companies that provide this as a service for a reasonable fee. Here is just one example (not endorsing this outfit, as I know nothing about them, they are just an example):

Why don't you look online for companies that set up offshore company and bank account packages. Its very easy to set up and you don't have go anywhere. I opened a Seychelles company and bank account in Cyprus for 1,000 euros couple years ago. Multi currency account comes with online banking and atm  cirrus card.

thanks, that’s all changed now, unfortunately. Seems like all this needs to be done in person now

Would transferwise be an option for me?

wise.com

sorry, I’m out of my depth here 

Thanks guys, I’m really in a bind here. I need some way of getting paid for the work I’m doing and can’t open an account back in the UK.

i guess opening a business account here in Thailand is out of the question?

any advice I can get on getting a company up and running and getting bank account would be so greatly appreciated 

Dear all

can anyone point me to an offshore company expert?

I am living in Thailand and setting up a company in Singapore or Hong Kong to pick up some consultancy jobs I’m doing. Setting up the company seems straightforward, but I can’t open a bank account there remotely and obviously can’t visit either location right now.
 

what options do I have?

grateful to anyone who can point me to an expert on such matters 

I’ve decided to take the plunge and go Thai Elite.

I came in on a Non Im B visa in March last year and converted to extension of stay based on volunteering from an agent (regret that now, should have just gone with COVID extensions)

anyway, is there any issue with converting from volunteer extension into Thai Elite in country?

thanks

Can anyone please recommend me a site to form a Singapore company and bank account?

used SFM years ago, but have heard some funny reviews about them recently

thanks

I'm here in Hua Hin.  Beaches are open, restaurants that are still in business are open for sit-down until 9pm, massage shops open, Market Village and BluPort shopping malls open, but bars and gyms closed.  

 

As others have said it's a ghost town.  If you like walking on the beach and can entertain yourself it would be just OK right now.

actually doesn’t sound too bad, might give it a try next week

cheers 

I’m looking to get out of town to somewhere with gyms open and restaurants open till 11pm (and who knows, maybe even a cheeky cup of beer)

Udon looks the I only likely prospect, although Night and Day is currently closed. 

We were thinking of heading down from BKK tomorrow 

are the beaches open, restaurants, gyms etc?

i heard it was a ghost town a few weeks ago

Unless you expect to make a lot of money it is probably not worth the cost when you factor in the 4 Thai employees required and etc.

Getting a 5 year Thai Elite visa for 600k baht might be best.

Thanks Joe

i think you are right, cheers 

I’ve been here a while doing fly in / fly out. But obviously that avenue is now closed and was thinking about setting up here.

ballpark figure, how much will that set me back?

im a contractor and was previously using a Singapore company I have 

I’ve thought about this a few times, has anyone here actually used this service?

They closed the gyms after letting them reopen for a day, so I’m not going now

This is the telling bit.

All of the people that I have spoken to in the last week that have travelled to Samui have had the PCR test but not all have had to show the results.

 

Thanks, I think that’s my next step,

Bangkok Airways replied to my request with the following:

can’t copy and paste for some reason 

“Certificate of necessity” indeed 

Thanks for all the help, guys. Much appreciated 

Well that’s disappointing, the parks will remain closed until the 31st at the earliest. 
 

im sure the wide open spaces Rama IX are an absolute death trap at this time... 

#sigh 

Hi all, I can’t find a definitive answer. 
can we fly from Bangkok to Samui without quarantine and COVID test?

I am sorry if i sound a little bit harsh

but if at your age and with your social level

you both don't know what to do when you are together

and you have to ask the user manual to unknow peole on a public forum

well, maybe you shouldn't be together (Anyway it seems you are not really

''together'' living in 2 differents places in normal time)

Thing is, you see, there is a pandemic going on and most things in Bangkok are closed. 
hence asking for suggestions on stuff to do....

understand?

I'd think it would be easier to meet people online, but harder to connect in a traditional manner as the OP is having issues finding activities to do with the closures.

yes, this is what my question was. Nothing to do with poor young Issan far, girls and old Falang men etc

I’m early 40’s and she’s late 30’s and we have careers. 
 

Well it looks like the parks might reopen, so that’s something we both enjoy 

have t been to Rama IX park for a long time

What's your point? Most of these activities do not require large amounts of money. You're making excuses.

i was responding directly to a comment  that said 

“You shouldn't ask a poor person to give their time to other poor people.”

my missus isn’t a poor person. Why does you assume my missus is poor farm girl?

what excuses am I making?

You need an activity that you both enjoy doing that will carry the relationship forward.

 

Hiking, bowling, golfing, kayaking, baking, running, gardening, traveling, diving, camping. Touring Thailand and neighboing countries to see all the best temples.

 

Teach her a skill of some sort.

 

You shouldn't ask a poor person to give their time to other poor people. She should elect to do it of her own Accord and would voluntarily do it without you. Volunteering will be problematic for you.

 

my misses runs a marketing company. 
she is considerably richer than me 

I’ve probably phrased the question wrong

we have both recognized that in our relationship in the past, we wasted time not doing a great deal and that maybe we should do do “things” 

we talked about volunteering at an orphanage, but they dont allow people in during the lockdown. Maybe we can help handing out food somewhere 

I’ve got a dodgy volunteer visa, I might as well earn my keep
