Dear all,

as I can see by your previous posts, some of you have a large experience with all of the issues surrounding the famous "moving to Thailand".
I do not need any specific info on Thai culture or way of living and managing your budget over there, as I have been there more times then I can remember.
I love that country and after several years of getting to know it and managing my own NGO that has a lot of operations in the SE Asia, i have decided to take some time and move to Thailand as life is starting to get really boring and expensive in Europe (i might have to mention i am of Serbian origin-a country with the growing economy and equally growing expenses of living).
I have several obstacles to doing all of the paperwork for spending at least one year in Thailand, so I have decided to ask you (experienced) guys about it.
We have no Thai Embassy in Serbia, so I have to address all my issues to the Thai Embassy in Hungary (not a big problem), but I am not sure what type of visa should I get for a one year residence (maybe more) and what are the requirements for me (as a single and happy girl ) to get nessecary papers.
Also, I would like to open an office for my NGO in Bangkok and of course, to rent a space for it. Any tips and suggestions?
Also, where can I can find the list of businesses that are forbidden to be owned or run by farangas?
I was thinking to start up a small business (ex. internet cafe, some tourist assistance agency...), is it possible and what can you suggest?
I have many more questions but mostly everything is related to paperwork for moving and logistics surrounding the opening of a small business by a foreigner.
I hope I will get some info from you and in the meantime, I will be thinking about drinking Singha in Khao San

THX!!!
