One day I will be over 50, old and retired in Thailand. Then I will have it easy with visa things.

With Shelter, the way I see it, you work, they pay you for that work and you pay Thai income taxes on that income from them. Can’t see any fraud in that. Pretty sure that social media lawyer had other things / the real scams in mind, like cases where people got business visa and work permits from companies they had no connection with whatsoever.

Noted. So I did the video you shared. But I don’t believe that is what is happening in the case of Shelter exactly.

Sure, Paul. So you always claim. Like you claim making money from sources outside Thailand while on a tourist visa is. But you are and remain wrong.

Have not talked to them, yet. But thinking about it. Should you talk to them and choose that route, I would be happy to hear your feedback.

And forget about opening a Thai Ltd. Best to make money with a legal entity abroad and just bring the money you need in.

In an ideal world, this scenario (I am in a similar income scenario) should be a prime case for the new LTR visa and it’s Work Remotely from Thailand category. Unfortunately, Thai authorities messed that visa up to a point that it is now only applicable to an almost non-existent group in that very category. If you have steady income from your UK limited, getting employed (with Thai work permit and long term visa) by an umbrella company through which you channel some of your invoices would be a way to go. Check out Shelter for example:
