Can I join the committee for my condo complex on an O-A retirement visa in Thailand?
I have the O-A visa (retirement) i have no intention of working but i want to go on the committee for the condo complex as i am sure i can add value. Is this allowed or is this considered working.
Answer summary
An O-A visa holder can participate in condo committee meetings and discussions without it being considered work. However, specific roles like committee chairman might attract scrutiny regarding work permits. It is best to ensure that your activities do not involve duties that could be interpreted as employment.

You can be active as a committee member, only a committee chairman is possibly, though extremely rarely, held to account for 'working without a permit'

Depends on what your are going to do on the committee. Just attend a meeting and join the discussion or signing papers, handle funds etc.

Just be in the meeting to talk about your belongings is no problem. Starting to sign papers, payments etc is officially seen as working.

OPYes, i dont see any issue if i was just going to attend a meeting, but i want to be active on the committee.
