Hello I am a foreign student coming to attend my bachelor in Thailand. I am currently being considered for a paid internship from a company overseas, how would my situation be? I know you can't have paid internships in Thai but the company is from overseas.

Would this be considered violating my student visa?

What other laws / taxes should I worry about?

Hi there!

Wondering if anyone can help. I have a BA but my boyfriend doesn’t and we want to explore options of moving to Thailand at least for a year ish. Does anyone know where I can find reputable agents for example, to classify him as a ‘classroom assistant’ instead of a teacher - or other job opportunities within other sectors for him? Or able to work on a Muay Thai visa - where to find opportunities for that?

I tried to research online but I’ve only found pretty vague information.

He’s got PT qualifications and a sports therapy degree but not at BA level.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT Questions answered thank you! Most likely he will live off savings. 🙂

Hello, have a newbie question. Is it easier to just show up on the tourist visa & get it extended so I can then get a agent then a retirement visa? I have the money, I'm old enough, etc. I'm just not sure what hoops to jump through to make the transition of getting to Thailand and getting set up as painless as possible. Any strategy help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi All

My wealthy pensioner LTR visa under BOI was rejected after almost 4 months of waiting. All supporting documents were provided. I am eligible for sure but now they have decided I don’t qualify. I called to ask them the reason and I was told even they don’t know as it was rejected by the Immigration. This makes no sense, and I am quite lost at this point. I had applied online by myself as it seemed straightforward.

Anyone has had a similar experience? Can I reapply?

Hi guys a quick question about investor visa.

I understand the visa needs at least 10 million baht asset from buying condo or bond, or fixed deposit account.

I have read some articles over the internet and cannot find the answer, does the condo part over cover brand new condos? Second hand condos aren't covered under this visa program?

Hello

When applying for a tourist visa for Thailand in Laos, they ask proof of when you're going to leave Thailand after 60 days.

I book a flight out of Thailand and end up not using it.

I heard you can "rent" a flight ticket to save money.

Any info about that?

Is it safe?

TIA
