Does anyone have any information or links to information around employer risks/compliance for allowing staff to work remotely from Thailand on DTV. Covering permanent establishment etc,

Also anyone here had any issues with their employers allowing this due to any risk to the business?
Answer summary
The discussion around employer risks and compliance when allowing staff to work remotely from Thailand on a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) emphasizes the complexity of legal requirements. It's advised to consult with legal experts familiar with both the employer's home country's laws and Thai law to navigate potential issues, especially regarding permanent establishment and taxation. Reviewing the dual tax agreement between countries can provide clarity on implications.

It could get complex and you probably need a lawyer conversant in law where company is registered and Thai law. HR and Company Counsel can get paranoid about these things.

Take a look in the dual tax agreement between whatever country your employer is in and Thailand. Permanent establishment is usually covered in there
