Can I legally open a private tuition business in Thailand?

[zoroastra999]

I have the opportunity to rent some space which could be used as a classroom. I have the skills. I have the equipment. I know I can get customers.

I have a retirement visa. Can I run such a service legally? If so how?

Might my Thai partner be able to help me cut through the red tape? If so, what would she have to do?

You'd probably be better off posting in the education or visa forums.

You will need 2 million in capital, 4 Thai employees and a non-B visa to get a work permit.

Then you are OK to go.

You won't be able to work legally on a retirement visa.

Is it really that easy?
