Dear all,

Just wanna ask some simple questions before proceeding with this process.

I intend to register a sole proprietorship under my Thai fiance.

This will require the least start up costs right?

In any case, after which I start my business and need to import products from overseas, do I import the products under her name or under the company's name?

If under the company's name, what are the extra add-ons apart from the VAT?

Thanks for any inputs!

Just checking with you guys.

If I am going to stay in Thailand for 1 year on ED visa, need I get a Thai Driver's licence?

My licence is from Malaysia.

How about if I purchase a used car.? How would the procedure and insurance coverage be like?

Whether you can get a 3 entry tourist visa will depend upon where your are at. Not all embassies or consulates will issue them. Some will only do 2 entry visas and others only single entry visas.

You could travel to Thailand on a tourist visa and decide on what school you wanted to attend. Then after enrolling in the school school you would need to go to a embassy or consulate to get a non immigrant ED (education) visa with paper work from the school that would give you a 90 day entry then before the entry ends you would extend the permit to stay you got on entry at immigration.

I'm from SE Asian country so I reckon I do not require the entry visa like other countries?

In this case, I reckon my best way out is to obtain a student pass?

I'm 30+ this year. Would there be any barrier?

There are private schools in thailand with English as a medium?

They can apply for a student pass for me?

So my only best way to stay long term in Thailand is with a student pass?

Btw could I stay in Thailand with a 30-60 day tourist visa, then exit the country for maybe a few days, and then enter Thailand again for another 30-60 days?

How many times could I do that??

You can study Thai language that is taught in English. You could an ED visa for study and then get an extension of stay for study.

You should try to get a 3 entry tourist visa before you leave for Thailand. You could stay for a total of almost 9 months. You would get 60 days for each entry that can be extended for 90 days at immigration.

you mean to say I can sorta get a student pass to learn Thai in a private school using English as a medium?

How can one get 3 entries into Thailand as a tourist?! That would be awesome too!

Working for employer would be hard as I can't speak Thai!

Starting a business not being sole owner is fine. But I heard the start up capital MUST be around 1 million baht?

As for studying I'm open to that option! Must register with private school?

Dear all,

I have intention to stay in Thailand for long term to stay with the gf.

What are the ways that I can do that apart from staying for 30-60 days and exiting and re-entering Thailand?

I'm looking at getting a work permit by starting a business is that possible?

Or is there anyway to get a long term stay visa in Thailand?

Any feedback is most appreciated!!
