Exactly. Only many people didn’t get that the DTV is one of them and works like that. Thus my clarifying post.

@David *******

They work the same. You get a visa with a certain time of validity. And within that time of validity you can enter Thailand as many times as you want and stay up to a maximum amount of days after each entry.

@Michael *******

I don’t know everything. Just deducting. Legality is determent by either written law or by court rulings (case law). I am aware of neither regarding remotely working. So I remain of my personal opinion that it is not regulated in Thai law at this point - and given how it is tolerated in thousands of obvious cases also not pursued. A rouge action of someone in uniform doesn’t make something legal or illegal. As with every gray area, I would advise caution and to fly under the radar. That is basically how Thailand works in a nutshell anyways.

@Duncan ******

I don’t know the details of that single case. It does not reveal what he was actually charged with or what the court ruling (if there was any) was that led to his detention and deportation. Can’t really comment on that much. In Thailand, if you make trouble with the wrong person well connected to the force - a things can happen. All I know for a fact is that there are hundreds of Coworking spaces throughout Thailand full with tens of thousands of people working remotely from. Also, I am not advising / promoting using tourist visa for anything other than tourism. Luckily now with the DTV nobody really has to anymore.

I was surprised, too. Also it looks a bit different from the last eVisa I held in my own hands. That is why I linked the source for everyone to judge themselves.

If you can manage life in Thailand with cash only (rent, bills etc.) … might be possible. Would still be tax evasion.

@Zoe ******

No idea. But he would have seemed to be able to upload / provide suitable documentation.

@Duncan ******

Yeah, well. That is meant for employment in Thailand. Meaning you cannot get a work permit based off of the DTV. I remain of the opinion that attending to business abroad remotely from Thailand was never technically illegal in Thailand.

@Steven ********

Seems like it. More details in the linked report.

@Russell **********

To my understanding it does not apply if you transfer savings, taxed is only income (like pensions etc). But I have to admit I need to still dive deeper on this topic.
