Asking for a friend!
Does an 'Only fans' account qualify as a digital nomad/remote work for the new DTV visa?
Does an 'Only fans' account qualify as a digital nomad/remote work for the new DTV visa?
Summary so far
The discussion revolves around whether running an OnlyFans account can be considered remote work that qualifies for Thailand's new Digital Nomad Visa (DTV). Participants highlight the legal challenges, noting that pornography production is illegal in Thailand, which could lead to rejection of the visa application. Comments also indicate that engaging in such activities without a proper business structure or work permit could violate multiple laws, including immigration and labor laws.

If they do allow it, which I believe would be doubtful, be careful to not post anything that anyone could consider nudity. Thai jail is no joke!

Not only is creating porn a criminal offense in Thailand, this would also be illegal local labor laws because creating/producing content locally for commercial purposes requires a work permit. So you’d be violating criminal laws, immigration laws, and labor laws. Way to hit the trifecta.

It would probably work if you've registered a company for the purposes of doing onlyfans and can show income and write a letter stating you can do it anywhere.
But the only problem is that porn and production of porn is illegal in Thailand, so they might reject it simply on that basis.

OPChris Nadon Well look at it from Thai government prospective. Why wouldn't they let people stay 180 days if they spend money while their there and do NOT take local employments opportunities? It's actually pretty smart from their end. Making money from the visas AND the income from people staying in Thailnd! Win win. As long as they got enough condos to accommodate everyone 😂

Only fans is not exclusive to porn..some people just use it for other purposes. Ask Nick Kyrgios...

@Greta ****
if the money is coming thru a numbered or shell company without a name, and you are a digital creator (porn or not) it would qualify.The DTV is the easiest and will be the most abused Visa ever!
It is sooooo simple to get, people are going to figure that out pretty quik.
I am still shocked it exists in its current form.
For now anyway...
