DavoWaldo, I know nothing about retirement visas and I don't talk about them. You are not working in Thailand, you are retired. I am working in Thailand and I can talk about non B visas and work permits. I have been preparing them for me and ... Read More

You will note that I said to start a business that you can work in "you need a very special visa". You can start and own a business and appoint a manager but it is very difficult to be actively engaged as a worker in that ... Read More

I have been living on and off in Thailand for 6 years. As far as I know if you are a Farang living in Thailand it is or is almost impossible to buy a business or set one up and work in it yourself, just not allowed and very heavily enforced unless ... Read More
