Can I volunteer to teach at a charity school in Thailand on a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV)?

@Steve ******

or would she need a property renovation company in order for me to be able to do anything she want me to do?.

you cannot do anything (working, volunteering, renovating, giving a hand to the construction workers etc.) legally.. Full stop.

@Steve ******

okay so if the girlfriend become my wife could I still not do it?.

@Mar***

, renovating your own or gf/wife home is the absolute tiniest of risk when we talk about working without a work permit.

Going to a school to volunteer and be publicly facing poses a risk. This is a job. A regularly scheduled commitment.

However, that doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to do other charitable deeds.

For example, there’s a Chiang Mai Clean City movement and foreigners can and do show up to their events to help beautify the city with trash removal.

After the flood in October, many foreigners were helping locals with cleaning and other tasks.

This is not “work” that would get someone arrested in a group photo, fined, possibly jailed and deported.

No, you're still working without a work permit. But again. The risk is tiny, unless someone tells immigration
