Just a question…

I am currently on a “marriage visa”. Some day it will be up for renewal. I do some voluntary work here and there, all legit.

If I convert my extension to “retirement visa”, will I still (legally!) be able to get a volunteer permit?

I am leaving an employer that I have worked for for two weeks. I expect they will not pay me, as they have proven themselves to be impressively dishonest. Has anyone here ever had success filing a complaint with the Ministry of Labor? Any advice would be appreciated.

In theory, is income from work performed in Thailand under the remote worker DTV considered:

1. Thai-sourced income (taxable regardless of whether paid to a Thai or foreign bank account)

2. Foreign-sourced income (taxable only if remitted to Thailand for those tax resident in Thailand)

Getting conflicting information on this.

Anyone know what happens in practice?

Everything else Q!

We are in Thailand on tourist visas and in the process of applying for guardian visas (pretty straightforward and our kids are on study visas and enrolled in an international school here).

Issue is, the company I shipped our personal belongings with from Canada is telling me our shipment is subject to duty and I'm expected to pay tens of thousands of THB before they release it? I did not know this and thought personal belongings were not subject to any tax. The shipping company says the only way to avoid this is to obtain a work permit. We did not plan for this...!

Any advice or insight please?!

Thank you!

Hello!

I am looking for a good Business Visa Agency!

I am currently in the process of opening up a coffee shop in Bangkok. I am hoping to obtain a business visa out of it. Does anyone have any Visa agencies that they have either worked with or agencies that they recommend?

Thank you all in advance for your help!

Can you enter Thailand with a Tourist Visa and switch to a Non-B Visa within the country?
