"What kind of VISA should I be looking at?"
Interesting question Jeff. Sadly, the guys that know do not like much reading new posts in old threads. It seems they only go for the new threads; perhaps thinking that whoever answer first will more likley get the party asking as a client.
I have also a question in regard to Amity. Can I, as USA resident (green card holder) apply for Amity here? Or it is only for USA citizens? I mean, what is the definition of a USA national? I would guess one that comes from that nation ..... but I am probably wrong for this purposes.

I do not want to start a new thread for this 'shareholder' related question, thus I am asking here:
Can a Thai minor own shares of a company?
I know, he may not be able to sell the shares until he is an adult, but the question is just simply "can he actually own shares"?
-
No reply to latest question? uummmm.
I guess nobody wants to say "Yes, it can be done" as that would obviously be a way to get around it for non-USA citizens.
Or maybe we just simply do not know.

I assume that companies set up like this will be grandfathered and allowed to continue with majority USA ownership.
Now, what about this situation: Lets have the local Thai company owned by a USA company which in turn is owned by USA citizens. This makes the whole amity application and approval possible. But what happens if later the USA shareholders sell their shares of the USA co. to foreigners? What happens then to the Thai subsidiary?

In what way?
If I have to explain it to you, it looses and won't sound that good. Sorry.

Sounds good to me.

Visa that have not been obtained by the traveller personally are considered incomplete documents. The passport holder will not be allowed to stay in Thailand according to the visa but only according to the rights of the nationality of the passport holder
Quote from: http://www.imm3.police.go.th/eng/
I read this and ..... one thought comes to mind .... what does 'personally' mean in this case? I think that it means that nobody else does it for me. If I am the one filling the application and mailing this directly to the consulate, it is me who personally is doing it. I am personally applying for the visa by mail.
In the case of guys living far away from consulates, they mail their passports and the consulates send them back.
Anyway, in my case the question may be academic as I do have two valid passports -from two different countries. Thus I will do as astral suggests above. Send the one that doesn't show I am in Thailand.
Question then remains: does anyone know of anyone handling this from here? Or will I have to deal myself directly with the consulate abroad?
Thanks

Now that I see Chonabot's avatar, I remember seeing it before. At another forum about Thailand: bkktonite.com. Chonabot, are you the same guy as Smegma in that other forum? Or you liked his avatar and copied it? I like it. Looks cool. Though it looks a bit better in the smaller version at bkktonite.

Searching further back found the thread that you guys probably had in mind. I am going to read it now. I am sure I will find interesting info there. Sorry I didn't spend more time searching in the forum earlier and resorted to starting this thread.
Thanks.

I think I know about the cases that were reported last year. But if I am not wrong, in those cases the issue was mostly that the exit & entry chops were illegal. Right? Maybe I am wrong.
I am not talking about those. I am talking about getting a REAL visa stamped in your passport. Not the exit-entry stamps (actually none of this would be needed at this stage). And I am not talking about the white forms that get stapled to the passport either. Just the actual VISA that allows you to enter the country for 60 days.
This, so that when the passport comes back to you and do your next visa run, you get 60 days upon re-entry and not the usual 30 that you would get if you do not have a visa.
A guy in say Alabama, USA that wants a visa, mails his passport with the forms that he downloaded from the net to one of the Thai consulates in the USA. After review, consideration and (hopefully) approval the consulate mails the passport back to the fellow in Alabama. If I had a cousin in the USA, I am sure I could Fedex the passport and the forms signed to him and he would mail it, het it back and then send it to me.
I am sure that next time I go to Singapore and come back with a proper Thai visa issued at the Thai consulate in New York the guy at immigration will be happy with the visa. Or maybe as taxexile says it is illegal?
But as I do not have a cousin in the USA, my question was if there is anybody that takes care of such type of dealing with a consulate abroad.
Again, I was not talking about exit or entry stamps in the passports to avoid visa runs. But of getting actual visas in order to avoid both visa runs each 30 days while also saving having to spend extra time in a city outside Thailand in order to apply for the visa.

My first post here. Sorry if this has been addressed before, but I read the title of the posts in the first two pages and couldn't find anything that made me think this was adressed in any thread.
Is there a way to get a (legal) visa stamped in the passport issued in a Thai consulate without having to go there (and staying in the meantime in Thailand)?
I mean like a third party taking your passport to a Thai consulate somewhere and bringing back your passport with the visa on it. This way one avoids having to spend a day or two in a city outside Thailand and one can just go and do a visa run next time. Of course all documentation submitted properly, etc. Just avoiding one having to go there.
Does anyone know of this?
Thanks
After Company Set-up, Cost To Justify Your Own Wp?
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Posted
Say I want to set-up my own co. so that I can have it apply for my own WP (actually 2; the other one for my business partner), but I really do not need the 4 workers I understand I must have to get each WP. How do I go about it and what is the effective cost.
Do I have to hire 8 people to do nothing and pay them the minimum salary (I guess I will ask them to stay home)? What would be the costs involved? How much do I have to give each employee and how much do I have to pay in benefits or other taxes.
Thanks
