STOP PRESS:   30 days on a tourist visa then you must leave for 30 days & get yourself a new Visa from a Royal Thai Embassy abroad

 

WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS:

1/.  Once you have 3 entries of 1 month in your passport which = 90 days you must then leave Thailand and obtain a fresh visa from abroad. However you may be under scrutiny if you go out and come straight back into Thailand.

5/. You can get a non immigrant B visa but ask your lawyer.

6/. Remember all new companies your staff will be interviewed regarding their job status.

7/. if you are under 50 yrs and own a condo worth min 3m baht you can apply for a retirement visa.

VISA RUNS You already have a tourist visa...it's valid for one or two months from the date of issue. This visa can be extended by one month in Thailand. In Chiang Mai, go to the immigration office. The extension fee is 1900 Baht. After this month expires you can re-apply for yet another extension (same fee). You get an "under consideration for X amount of days" stamp endorsement, another one when you return (after crossing into Mynamar or Laos) after X amount of days (no fee) and finally a "must leave country in X amount of days" endorsement. This gives you approximately 30 days more.  To enter Laos you can get a visa at the border towns of Chiang Khong or Nong Khai. You can also obtain a visa in Chiang Mai. Laos town of Huai Sai across the Mae Khong River from where you travel onwards onto Luang Prabang in Laos. In Chiangmai go to the Prince Hotel --Pollside bar and a minibus leaves every Sunday and Wed for Mae Sai.

COMPANY CHECKS: Chiangmai commercial registration is presently looking closely at companies. If you have a company make sure you have the workers and not just nominees as you will have to explain where and what they are each doing in your company. Remember even playing a guitar in a  bar for fun is working? and you will be jailed, bailed around 65,000 baht then deported after the fine. We recommend you do not use a company just to buy a house only, as under the Thai law you must conduct a business as well as thats basically what a company is for.

POLICE COMPLAINTS: now have a new email address if you have a problem with Thai Police on metr-police@police.go.th  & P.O. Box 191, Rong Muang, Pathum Wan, 10330, Thailand.
