Cannot get full access to the true money app as a non Thai. You can get partial access but many features are still blocked.

not legal to work. Restricted to the 2 year 'provisional' driving licenses, etc. Elite has as many drawbacks as advantages imo.

It's rarely enforced, but online work is still work. Always was.. many cases over the last decades.. my mate Nate case etc etc.

The DTV has an exemption as per the announcement in the royal favorite, tourist visas do not.

Anonymous participant 405 If you can't read Thai you will need an agent or lawyer to file everything.

-+40k to get started on average (not from larger Western centric ones, less from a local bookkeeper but more likely to get something wrong that way imo) almost every bookkeeping and legal firm can do.

Btw the 4 Thais, generally you just need to pay the tax on 4 salaries. I know some places don't even run the salary only the tax cost. That's also for extension later not essential at the beginning (or wasn't last time I talked it over).

Anonymous participant 405 hardly impossible. Cheaper than it cost me to make a euro incorp.

This is the issue, people claim it's impossible when the real response is 'i don't want to pay for that'.

Ok so use a BOI registered umbrella payroll.. then the response becomes, I won't pay that either. Essentially it just comes down to a refusal to pay.

@Dany *******

the English teacher is the perfect example.

The Burmese language teacher recently also.

The statements by immigration, labor, and employment officers. The statements by every serious law firm on the matter.

The existence of an entire business model, approved by the boi, to provide work permits via umbrella payrolls. Why does this business exist ?

To counter all this evidence you provide ?? Nothing.

Here is another perfectly meeting all your invented needs

I am a commodity trader and use the Internet for my work. My financial dealings are conducted in Australia. I am thinking of coming to Thailand to stay for short time – about three months. My question is, can I still do my trading via the Internet in Thailand without breaking any laws? Theoretically, I shan’t be working in Thailand.

To do any work in Thailand you must either set up a company or partnership and apply for a work prmit, or find someone willing to employ you and to apply for a work permit for you. Otherwise you will be working illegally. We suggest that you do not work during your three-month stay in Phuket.

@Dany *******

no the question (I asked it) was explicitly clear that this was a 100 % online only business without Thai clients. The reply was also as clear.

If we find out that a foreigner is doing business online without a work permit, we will arrest them and take legal action through the court.

@Dany *******

and all the direct responses from employment office, Labour dept, even immigration (not that it is thier justification) ? Explicitly answering that it is not legal.

And the rebuttal is... I don't think so.. based on ??

You have evidence of arrests and deportation, you simply are in denial at this point.
