First of all, hello to everybody, this is my first post here.

I am a 32yo software developer, Italian. I am considering thailand for a stay of 2-3 years. I write software (games) and sell it on the internet so it really doesn't matter where I live.

What would it be the best approach to Thailand in my situation? I don't own a company I am just an individual (of course I would pay taxes in the country where I am living in).

Is there any sum of money I should move to Thailand to get a VISA? Is it related to education levels (I've just the high school diploma)? Any other obvious catch-me around?

I will have a long read through the forum meanwhile.. I hope I am not asking "too common" questions..

Please read this page:

For the reason stated there is no visa that fits. So it will depend on how far afield you want to go. Do you want to set up and operate a company here? Do you have 10 million or so baht to invest? Are you willing to take your chances with monthly or quarterly border runs using a visa that does not fit?

You might want to talk with one or more of the advertisers if your intent is serious and you believe you can afford a business here. But you should know that no degree can be a factor in many things here.

Thanks for your reply.

Does an individual company with that 10million deposit comply to Thai's idea of "starting a business"?

Business start can be done for 2 million or less.

2 million or less.

Is 1 thb enough.

I think if get a multiple tourist visa you can stay for the first year.Then you have to search for a house or apartement for rent that a DSL connection will be possible and for what you want to pay tax? Who control what you sell or buy over the internet? No IP to show with anonymiser.
