Owning A Operational Business

[StarFighter]

Recently I started a business, a Co. Ltd. recreational service type enterprise, and have been employing 4 Thai in order to procure a WP and one year B visa. II am acting as manager

Now I think maybe leaving every 90 days isn't such a hardship and far cheaper and less hassle than trying to make up work and paying workers I don't really need, two is sufficient at this time. .

If I give up my B, and instead get a retirement visa, can I still have the business? What about a tourist visa? Seems lots of people are residing in Thailand on those

I understand technically I would not be able to work, but I don't see how anyone is really going to check to see if I'm,

" managing," or not.

Thanks in advance for any reply

If you go for retirement, you can still have the business as owner but you will not be allowed to work yourself in your own business. The same with a tourist visa. Active scheck or not, a labour dispute could have serious consequences and signing documents/contracts would already be working.

You do have the option of getting a multiple non-B and work permit on that, which would eliminate the immigration requirements for an extension of stay and you would only need to meet the labour office requirements for a work permit.
