Do I need a business visa and work permit to rent a night market stall in Thailand on a DTV visa?

@Greg *******

He's asking Facebook if he can work on a tourist visa. He's not done any research yet .

@Godfrey *******

In any "New Product Development" process or framework, one must start with "Ideation" and then understand potential market fit, business viability, and strategic alignment.

Technically managing your own rental (advertising, showing it to potential renters, negotating lease terms, arranging repairs, etc) can be considered working. Even though it's technically illegal you are not likely to have any problems especially if you only own 1 or 2 condos.

@Ja***

wrong, if it's your property you can do anything, repairing, painting ado. Don't post lies with your own properties you can do everything by your own. With your logic you even could sell a scooter, a laptop or car. You would need someone to show it to potential buyers. 😁 I hope you have someone who types your false posts for you as it can be seen as work too

@Siggi ******

maybe you should read Thai laws before you're telling somebody is wrong. When you do anything to rent your own appartment, that surely can be seen as work, how else would you classify that? The repairing and painting you mention is allowed on your own condo as long as you live yourself in the condo.

@Siggi ******

Selling scooters, laptops, and cars as a business to earn income absolutely you would need a work permit as well.

@Ja***

this is not what we were talking about,

@Elías *******

Some of us already have bank accounts opened before getting a DTV. There is no law that any specific visa is required to open a bank account. It's up the the policy of the bank. Currently all the banks are not opening new accounts for DTV holders and some (mostly Bangkok Bank) are even closing existing accounts. If you already have a bank account then there is nothing illegal about keeping it open and collecting interest income.

About renting a condo you own you have been misinformed. As long as someone else such as a friend or property management company is managing it for you then you don't need a work permit or any special type of visa.

There is no restriction about receiving Thai income as long as you are not working.

@Ja***

why do you post lies? If you own property in Thailand you can rent out without anybody else. You don't need a person to manage rentals what stupid idea
