What type of visa should digital nomads and volunteers choose for staying in Thailand?

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey, y'all. I have another question.

Which visa do the digital nomads and volunteers use?

Edit to add: I will be enrolling in a language school to learn Thai and possibly a martial arts school, too. Those are just things I really want to do. I will be teaching English online using my US address and bank account.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Digital nomads often opt for various visa options since their work is typically done offshore. Some may also use local companies like Iglu to secure work visas or permits based on a percentage of their earnings.

Digital nomads use various methods to stay here as their "work" is technically offshore. Some also use companies here such as Iglu to obtain work visas/permits for a percentage of their turnover.
