should have to register in a school? I want to get a visa. I am an accountant and I am currently unemployed. What is the solution?
Answer summary
The original post raises a question about whether enrolling in a school is necessary to obtain a visa in Thailand while being unemployed as an accountant. The conversation explores various visa options, including the Education Visa (ED) and Digital Nomad Visa (DTV), along with suggestions for alternative paths like teaching English or pursuing further education. However, several responses indicate the need for more context about the user's intentions, such as whether they wish to work or live in Thailand without employment.

DTV or ED… DTV only possible outside of thailand. ED you can get inside as well

But for ED you have to be actually studying, and attend classes or you will breach the visa conditions.

2x2 hours per week and 80% attendance is supery easy to do. some schools will also be fairly relaxed with the regulation. so in the end it is up to the student to comply or not. there most likely wont be a problem.

accountant charge rip off charges, you earn good money you should be able to retire and enjoy life. But if you want to work as an accountant remotely you should be able to get the DTV no problem . Get a visa lawyer , then it's no hassle and no problem. Siam legal in Bangkok

The solution requires a more defined question.

Are you planning on coming to Thailand to stay and work online?

Or just coming here to live and do nothing.
