Can someone help me understand. The visa says “work prohibited” but what about when you apply as a remote worker as someone who works online. Obviously you can’t get a new job or start up a business there but are you still allowed to work in Thailand for your UK company? I’m just trying to make it make sense.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The prevailing interpretation among community members is that while the visa indicates that "work is prohibited," it primarily refers to employment within Thailand, such as securing a job or starting a business in the country. Remote work for a non-Thai company, like a UK employer, is generally allowed as the income is sourced from outside Thailand. This implies that individuals can legally work remotely for their companies abroad even on a visa that explicitly states employment is prohibited.
