Danish expat businessman Preben Pretzmann, has been living in Thailand for 16 years. He established FBI Real Estate in Udon Thani when he came to Thailand in 2000 and has been directing it since. Now issues related to his visa is forcing him to close the business, he claims. According to Preben Pretzmann, the Immigration Offices has given no explanation to the problem. According to Preben Pretzmann he has been battling to get a new business visa in place for one and a half year and every month they provided him with a visa only lasting for a few months or refused him. Contacted by ScandAsia, the Immigration Offices in Udon Thani says they do not comment on individual cases, furthermore they asked ScandAsia to encourage Preben Pretzmann to “come by tomorrow with passport, papers and work permit.” “But that’s what I’ve done the latest 14-15 months,” Preben Pretzmann comments. The challenges started with a strange inquiry by a Detective from the Immigration Office, Preben Pretzmann says when he lays out his view on the case: “He asked me to change my company sign which I have had for 16 years since the company opened. I found the request odd but followed it anyway. When he returned he wasn’t happy with the new sign either, so he asked me to changes it once again. So I did. Once again he came back to register the changes but still he wasn’t satisfied. Now he suggested me to change the orange signature colour for FBI to blue, but I told him no”.

That's interesting - Jear has an inspection due from the authorities and her sign is English. I think she's expecting to pay around 1500 baht, she may be in for a shock. |

^^^, Its not interesting, its a fact.
There is also something to do with the size of the sign and/or height of the lettering.

Get her to put one word in Thai www.mazars.co.th/Home/Doing-Business-in-Thailand/Tax/Signboard-Tax-in-ThailandTHere may be differences in CM It also it appears it is not the local council but the Tessabahn on behalf of central government |
