What visa can I get to help my girlfriend on her farm in Thailand without breaking immigration rules?

Ralphy Ben. Foreigner can't own land

Bryn Graham. It depends on the "gardening". If you're gardening simply for your own enjoyment or your direct benefit, it's not a problem. Once you start selling what you're growing it's out of bounds.

@Bryn *******

..any work on your house is not illegal in Thailand, that's a long old bar stool story.

@David *****

got a link

@Bobby *******

which visa for 15k?

@Gary ******************

this one surprises me the most since they could gain so much to allow people with legit visas to volunteer. Singapore is like more than cool with me putting in hours.

rubber and palm oil trees and built 2 houses

@Kevin ******

you rolled your own

David Broadfoot he still needs a work permit.

If she actually owns the land, she can set up a business and hire you to consult, but you can not legally work, or sell in the markets. Getting the type B visa extension is the easy part. She would be under the same requirements to get you the required work permit, at bt2million in registered capital in the business. If you were married that amount drops to bt1million. Her land assets could be used to help meet this requirement to issue you the work permit, but again, in agriculture all you can legally do is consult, and you can not sell in the markets. Up until a few years ago, and changes that were made, you couldn't even consult in agriculture. Now you can consult, but you can't actually do any physical work. None of this makes any difference if you get a wage, or not. You still need a work permit.

@Michael *******

you can't work on a marriage visa without a work permit, even if you don't get paid. Besides that, he said girlfriend so not even a non O based on marriage unless they have kids together.
