Thanks in advance 😉

Are you on a visa or an extension of stay? You will need a work permit if your work is in Thailand, online or otherwise, so make sure what you want to change to supports that

I have been working online/remotely for a few years now, mostly on tourist visas. There *may* be tax concerns in the future but mostly if you are not taking a job from a Thai person, there are little concerns about working online.

@Christopher *****

the spouse extension is all about what type of teaching. If your spouse is teaching at the university level then you could get a spouse extension, but if it is just teaching English then there is no spouse extension available.

I am looking for getting a new visa. I don't want to do an extension.

@Christopher *****

you are wanting to get a type O extension based on working spouse from your current type B visa extension. You should be able to do that inside Thailand, as long as your wife's teaching job allows dependents. Not all do.
