TiffDerek Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 My topic was moved. I dont know what it means. While I was messaging a potential contact. Anyway, I personally want to visit Thailand to scout for places where my friends and I could set up a business. We have a great thing going elsewhere and we would like to replicate the model t/here too. Can I do that as a tourist? Pls answer before you move this as well ???? *****Tiffany Derekson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 If your just "scouting out" some future options in los, can't see that (strictly speaking) is working. You could come on a tourist visa, which gives you 60 days which you can extend by 30. Or visa exempt depending on your passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch passport. what do you mean by visa exempt? is that what you are stamped on arrival?

It's not only for retirees, but many posters are retirees. This part of the forum is mainly for questions related to visas & extensions of visas. Your post probably was moved to the Pattaya section of the Thai Visa website. Ubonjoe is one of the forum moderators and he could best advise you where to post your different questions.

Your topic was moved for not being visa related. A 30 day visa exempt entry is what you get if you do not have a visa when you enter the country if you qualify for one.

This is visa to thai and related. Being dutch you can arrive visa exempt and be given 30 day stamp. Which you can then extend by 30 days. Many options.

Yes, you can do this on a tourist visa / visa exempt. It would also not be possible for you to get a business visa for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai rules concerning setting up a business here are not so simple and have requirements that may make it difficult esp in reference to your op comment "where my friends and I could set up business...." I suggested earlier you should have already read the many threads about topics....business visas, setting up business in Thailand etc. The sort of stuff that business people tend to do. Research.

I did not use that word Sir. I wrote native. And I wasnt really pointing that thing at you. Am sorry. Why are the rules tough to get a handle on? Cheers....
