  1. You are in thailand, you have an office set up computers ect and you are making money inside of thailands border.

     

    You have an electric bill much higher than anyone else. If you are mining bitcoins in Thailand 

     

    I dont think ot would be hard for a government agency to say your working without a permit.

     

    And qhen they take your compuyers they take your bitcoins with them.

     

    I wouldnt risk it

  2. Do I apply for the non o visa in Thailand or America. I have a son and I work in America for 5 to 6 months a year before it wasn't a problem because I was married now we are getting divorced I still want to spend 6 to 7 months with him.

     

    Do I say I live at his grand mothers since that is where he is going to school.

     

    Copy of house book and birth certificate are not a problem.

     

    I read online at the immigration website there are only 60 day visas for this I want a 1 year visa. does anyone know how I do this I am his sole financial support I have proof of that going back 2 to 3 years.

     

    I went to the websites from what I found thai immigration in Los Angeles doesn't issue multiple entry non o visas it is done in Thailand so what visa do I apply for.

     

    The websites are pretty outdated with conflicting information.

    Get yourself a  local experienced lawyer, as well as a copy of "Thai Law for Foreigners" (gives you a better understanding of what philosophies drive Thai family law court decison-making processes). It will help you understand what questions you should be asking, and what is really important in negotiations. Separate out wasted emotional issues and concentrate on achieving what you can out of the wreckage. Sooner or later, despite current "friend" feelings, yours and your wife's ideas about how to bring up the kids will diverge -time and personal circumstances will change and you might have some hard decisions imposed on you if you're not living locally.  Prepare  now so you and the children can deal with the inevitable to achieve results best for you. Good luck.

    We get along for the most part.  It won't be a problem with anything.

    You can get a one year Multiple Entry Non-O visa ( based on your marriage to a Thai) from a Thai consulate back home, whatever is closer to you.

     

    Then you have to leave the country every 90 days, but that's easy when you're in Ubon ( to the Laotian border not so far) and from Pattaya to Cambodia ( daily vans)

     

         That will enable you to stay here with your wife, as she can stay on her Thai passport. The problem you'll have is to be completely legal and running two businesses more than 600 km away from each other.

     

       Once you're in Ubon, please visit Peppers, the restaurant opposite the military airport. The owner has lived in the States for quite a long time and he's really a good guy who can give you a lot of information how to set up your business.

     

      To set up a company under your name wouldn't be as easy as it is for your wife. You'll need a certain amount of money and you must have as far as i remember five Thai employees. If your wife's running the businesses it makes all much easier.

     

           You could eventually be a General manager for her company, but that all depends on the department of labor in Ubon, or eventually in Chonburi.

     

                 The problem you're facing is that you're dealing with two different provinces. But you'll have to start somewhere and it seems to be the best to get your Non-O visa at a Thai consulate back home.

     

             If you want I can give you the contact information of the owner who's running Peppers, bakery and restaurant.

     

               Be aware that you'll have to fight with the Immigration and the labor department. What's really important is to be well dressed and of course well  mannered. Never lose your temper, even when your blood is boiling when they tell you to fill out form XY for the 123 rd time.

     

                Best of luck !

     

       P.S. The laws were changed about seven years ago and you're now allowed to work on a Non-O visa.

     

          

                

     

                                

    I never had to leave on my non o.  Did the rules change again.
