Hello, looking to come to Thailand and do some remote work. But, I'm confused about Visas.
There are plenty of guys on YouTube, like this guy earning money in Thailand and even saying to use some sort of Education visa to do it. Is it the right path for me?
So, one of them is 'Dan the Man' or 'Just Dan' and he has videos saying to get an ED visa and then work in Thailand....I just don't know what do to. Is this right for me?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion highlights the complexities of working remotely in Thailand under various visa types, particularly the Education (ED) visa. While some YouTubers advocate using the ED visa for remote work, it's emphasized that legally, any work done in Thailand, including online jobs, requires a work permit. There's a distinction made between working for foreign companies versus those registered in Thailand, with advice suggesting remote work is permissible as long as income isn’t from a Thai entity. Generally, for long-term stays or serious remote work, exploring the new 10-year LTR visa may be beneficial if the applicant qualifies.
