@Greg *******

the inevitable crackdown will come.

@Dany *******

nonsense.. multiple cases. I know if 3 personally, 2 on Phuket and one in the press.

Only someone who is trying not to know the facts can maintain that.

@Dany *******

and yet people have been arrested, processed through the IDC, deported and blacklisted for exactly that.

The labor dept and employment office have been unusually clear that yes remote work is still work.

Yeah I bother them every time they tweet this stuff 'will you please confirm that it is legal to work remotely without a work permit' they refuse to engage while answering other questions.

It's wild how they just ignore laws while they create offers and systems. I read now Chiang Mai government is pushing an electric scooter company, while those are also illegal on the road.

If you have laws, government should follow them, if they are outdated, change them. When government ignores laws they find unhelpful it just tells citizens to do the same.

@Pete ******

Nonsense.. I hold a 5 year license issued on a DTV !! CM had pre printed notices up on the walls indicating which classes they issue 5 years to (everything bar TR's, visa exempt, and Visa on arrival all get 5 years).

Non imm EDs ?? Non imm B's ?? LTRs ?? PR ?? Your seriously trying to say only the non imm O's get it ?? Thats just obviously incorrect.

@Pete ******

yes you can. I did it.

Renewed my license in September and got a 5 year license while on a DTV.

They even had printed signs up explaining tourist and visa exempt for knee and non imm, DTV and ltr for 5 year, fully clear system.

Can in Chiang Mai. Both 2y and 5y ones.

@Suhaan ********

domestic source income is taxable irrespective of personal residency.

Do not include your Thai work permit and non b. People have been denied because the person processing believed they would work with Thai clients and income sources. Use only non Thai clients and trade.

Anonymous participant 369 for people without money or any of the other qualified reasons obviously..
