tonybuak Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I am a 44 year old english citizen with a full english passport and have lived it Thailand for over two years with my same sex partner in oure house in a rural part of Thailand, I am here on a non imigrant O ,staying with friends visa at the moment, i was told that if you had a Thai buissnes visa for 5 years you could obtain permanant recedency? My Idea is simple merly to build a cattle shed and imploy a local person to look after them( all ubove board and pay his tax etc, therfore in five years i would be able to obtain this visa. I am aware that paying tax on the sale of cattle would virtulaly take all the profit from the cows but i would gain in terms of visas. I figure there must be minimum requirements for such a buisness visa most likly in the number of people you need to employ and the gross amount you earn and i should imagin there would be a hefty start up fee. There that is my entire knowlege on the subject. help please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkady Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 i was told that if you had a Thai buissnes visa for 5 years you could obtain permanant recedency? Not true. Very funny but, if that were true, Thailand would the easiest country in Asia to get PR. Unfortunately it has always been extremely difficult to obtain in Thailand and since 2006 it has been virtually impossible. I hope the cattle shed idea is a joke. It is clearly not a feasible business plan and you would have a snowball's chance of hell of getting a work permit out of it. For a start how would you get agricultural traders upcountry to issue the VAT receipts you would need for your company? Better go back to whatever you were smoking when you wrote the original post but don't get caught! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
