Hi

I'm looking to start a business asap. I'm sorry, i've jumped on the band wagon and want to open a bar, location not important. I need to know what the situation is regarding renting a premises for a business. I have no intention to buy land and this is not a reason to do so. If i rent the premises, can the lease be in just my name, and when setting the business up do i have to have Thai partners.

Secondly, how will i be affected with regards to my visa. I currently have a multi non O which runs out in June. Am i going to be affected with the new system, or will i be ok as i intend to run a business here.

I'm not married by the way.

I have seen a businees advertised here which look like they can help, can't remember what it was called.

Thanks

The lease can be in your own personal name.

If you set up a company and apply for a work permit then you can apply for a 1 year visa, you have to pay tax on 4 members of Thai staff though including yourself, you don't necessarily need to have Thai partners, just shareholders who sign the control over to you but you do need a Thai to be the license holder.

I'm not married by the way.

No problem

I have seen a business advertised here which look like they can help, can't remember what it was called.
