1. Is one's visa cancelled immediately when there's no re-entry ?

1. What's the rule about returning the work permit book when the visa has been cancelled ?

1. Is there a problem to just have the WP till it expires?

In April I purchased the 5-year elite visa but I have a great idea for a brick-and-mortar business I would like to explore. What would be required for me to create this business in say, Khon Kaen? Would I have to find a Thai business partner, and would they have to own 51% of the business? Would I have to employ 4 Thais for every farang (and does that include myself)? What licenses would I have to get (it's a type of animal café/restaurant)? I heard I can also apply for a business visa which can combine with the elite visa. Is that true? Would I be able to get a business visa (instead of the elite visa) which could be renewed indefinitely if it is successful? Thanks!

Todd what is yr opinion on 90 day reporting now that WP holders can work anywhere and for anyone, and are thus no longer bound geographically...
