You need an employer..

Either a local company employs you, to do a task they want.. Or you must open your own company, with all that means (offices, staff, corp tax, sales tax, etc) and employ yourself.

Or you can look at umbrella payrolls like sponsoredworkpermit.com or talk to lawyers who often can matchmake between a Thai corp that has the ability to put you on the payroll and a farang who wants a work permit but this is getting into the shady side.

I agree, I think its strange.. I dont know why I do but I consistently do.. Not once but every IDP over decades.

yeah I am not 100% but I believe my brother doesnt have it, and hes 5 years younger than me.. So somewhere in that range 89 - 94 ish maybe is a range I think it changed. Thats a lot of guesswork though.

I believe thats dependant on age (when you passed test).. I have 125 grandfathered in.. It appears on my IDP from the uk also.. I know younger folks dont and also dont get it on an IDP.

Unsure when the cut off was.

Buy a condo.. Property owners are then considered resident even when on DTV.

Gert married. Married guys it seems are allowed to keep accounts.

Have larger balances, banks here take you seriously when you have a few million in there.

Otherwise, if none of those are suitable for you this is the situation for short stay visas this year.

No way you are easily shifting condos in the current market

Anonymous participant the more your role is internal (like HR) the less connection it may have.. Taking an independent contractor route 99% cuts any claim also..

Its really not a real world thing, except to lawyers who need to be concerned about every possible risk.
