What type of visa do I need to work remotely from Thailand if my job is based in the Netherlands?

and on a final sensible note from

@Val***

, (y) we are done.

The O/P has more than enough information (and mis-information) to make an educated decision on their own. :/

Thank you one and all for contributing

My brain starts to hurt and I want to take out my own eye balls with a sharp object from all the misinformation here today... not in the least from someone who thinks he knows FACKING EVERYTHING and is going to destroy this group with his overkill of posts (not naming names yet)

Mehmet Çetintaş talk to a Dutch labor lawyer for the Dutch side of the story. Then come here for a holiday and do the same with a Thai labor specialist accountant or lawyer because it is perfectly posdible in a legal way. I am just not the person to explain it correctly. But please disregard 90% of what's been said above. Tod still makes most sense as usual but the rest..... pffffff

Probably advisable to heed

@Tod ********

advice and delete this post.

What kind of work do you do? We could possibly help you at if you're working in the IT/tech industry.

I'm Dutch, the CEO of the company I worked for had the same idea, I go Thailand and keep working for them. After finding out the rules of the Tax office and SSO, the Government rules of living abroad longer than 8 months, they changed their minds very quickly. The Netherlands has some strange rules about working in the Netherlands and living abroad.

Your income is not really important to get a Visa unless you are over 50 years of age.

I would get an ED (educational) visa which costs about $800 us including actual classes and the fee for.the. Visa for about Year!!!

If you live in Thailand full-time and work via the internet, then your earnings will probably be taxed by the Thai Tax Authorities !

Just to let you know: Inform yourself also in the Netherlands about the rules of living more than 8 months abroad and tax payments during that time. I think you and your boss did not do this.

Or if you qualify for this visa get it... /-year-professional-visas-arrive-next-month/

6 month METV every 60 days you need to either do a visa run or pay ฿1,900 for a 30 day stamp...invest in the Thai elite visa and get from 5-20 years in Thailand starting ฿500,000-฿1 million, no visa runs...

I would say just get a 6 month METV <-multi-entry tourist visa from a thai consulate in your country before you come here. Keep your mouth shut about the job you do and just carry on like normal.

There is no one year visa that will fit what you're doing.

You need a Non Immigrant B visa and a Work Permit to work in Thailand. To get the Work Permit, or you have to set up a company on your own or your employer has to open an office in Thailand.
