ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The best visa options for someone who owns properties in Thailand but freelances from their home country include the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV), Long-Term Visa, or a Smart Visa. Since you are not employed by a local company, you do not require a work permit. If you possess sufficient funds (e.g., over 500,000 in a bank account), this can support your visa application. You can apply for these visas and wait for the outcome without needing a Thai work permit, provided your chosen visa allows for remote freelancing.
