Hello everyone ?

Yes, I will certainly return to Corsica for a while to think more carefully and start to define the concept of my business and interested producers to provide me with good crafts. Anyway I should certainly import some products, do you have any information on customs in Thailand and more generally on the modalities to import?

Yes, I can create a kitchen with Moroccan, Corsican and Italian influences, because I know these places well. As I said I have some experience in fast food restaurant management but not in the kitchen itself. At the limit I think open a delicatessen offering Mediterranean products such as charcuterie, cheese ... With a small corner to start. It seems more feasible ...

As everyone has mentioned, Bangkok's fast food and street food sector is overcrowded. In another city like Ayutthaya, Chiang Mai or Pattaya will be easier. Easier will also be a different concept of restaurant rather than street food. As you come from Corsica, a melting pot of Mediterranean cuisine might be a better idea, I think.

Do not quit your project, but take more time to think about it because foreign "owned" companies are very difficult to establish in Thailand.

Yes but i have not yet had the chance to visit other cities in the country i went only Krabi and Koh samui for now and you? you already went? you also cross the bisness of fast food in Thailand? does the medretanean cuisine really have a chance here ???

and I thank you for your answer ! ?

Best answer of the day, everything is accurate !!!

I totally agree with you this is one of the best answer I could read 

For info I already worked in this kind of restoration not in Thailand but enormously in France I have enough experience in this area after as you say very well we must study all aspects (strategic location, investments to be made the different costs etc ....) 

thank you again for your answer and especially for the clarity of your reasoning

Good day to you

Michael2018, even though you may have found good potential for a business, it's not so easy to start for a stranger in Thailand. 

 

As a @PoorSucker moderator  mentioned above in post # 3, you will need to form a Thai company with employees - and for a work permit, your capital of 2 million baht (about € 50,000) may have to be paid in full - It will also be necessary to find two other shareholders to form a Thai limited company and 51% of the shares will be held by one or more Thai nationals; that is, you need a Thai business partner who has the majority of "your" business.

 

I'm not saying at all that it's impossible, just that it's difficult - but probably impossible for a young French student, if you do not have a good amount of savings to invest - you'd better to finish your studies (in France?), do and save a little capital, then reconsider the opening of a company in Thailand. In the meantime, come visit Land-of-Smiles ...

Thank you bcp for your answer,

Know that I really realize the difficulty of the realization of this project (it's probably my entrepreneurial spirit since even if I'm still a student I already opened 2 companies in Corsica of course in partnership with a friend who is a majority) but hey I wanted to try it here in Thailand because there are really opportunities to exploit ....

Anyway thank you bcp for your advice I really appreciate 

Good day to you !

What does it really mean? Is it a French fast food restaurant? Does it serve French food? If the idea is unique and good, why do not you move to the United States and start this new French fast food chain? The United States is the mother of all businesses and the implementation of new ideas.

Yes it is a fast food revisit by France (It is about the concept Mexican Tacos) but 100% French way called the FrechTacos this type of restoration works very very well in France besides I already opened 2 in collaboration with a friend in Corsica (Bastia and St Florent) and I do not hide you that it works of thunder

A work visa does not exist.

You would need a non-b visa, a work permit and then you could apply for a one-year work-based extension after setting up the business.

Thank you for your answer and especially for your advice
