Operating A Karaoke Bar In Bangkok

[DJ_Illusion]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post as u guys can see but i really need some help concerning the legal paperwork. You see all i want to do is operate a karaoke bar in Bangkok but i heard, correct me if i am wrong i have to setup a company and get a work permit and in order to get the work permit i need to enter thailand with a business B visa which is valid for a year i think and even after i get that visa i have to do a visa run every 3 months and pay like over 100$ every 3 months on the boarder. alright now i think its just a little bar that i am gonna operate not a 3 storey night club i think i know now why ministry of sounds nightclub closed and ran away!

i am trying now to work out a deal with sunbelt but still somethings are unclear to me like they offered to sponcer me so that i can enter thailand with a business b visa and then what? i mean if i wanted to run a bar i would need a work permit now the work permit that i would get would be to work with sunbelt obviously not to work in a bar(operate it)

The last time i been to the ministry of commerce in Bangkok i was told by the officer there that he has never had someone coming in to establish a company to run a bar before, even after i looked up the booklet he gave me i couldnt find a licence for a company operating a bar/pub/nightclub etc.

as you can see i got alot of pieces of the Puzzle missing i hope i can get enough help on these issues

i am a residant of the kingdom of bahrain if that has anything to do with it thanks alot i do apreciate it

I can't answer your questions, but there was a thread recently about someone considering buying a small karaoke bar. You might want to read that.
