Hi all,
I’m on a Thai dependent visa, so I know I cannot work in Thailand.
My question is: if I keep my Thai dependent visa but work remotely for clients from EU, while temporarily staying in neighboring countries like Vietnam and Laos (typically on tourist visas, about 2 months each), are there likely to be immigration issues in those countries or when I return to Thailand?
I’m asking because I’ll eventually need to switch to a DTV and will need to show income from those months.
Has anyone here had experience with this situation?
Thanks a lot for your help!
