again you posted 2 cases that are not your typical remote worker or that asked misleading questions. the first one is missleading as it talks about creating and online business in thailand. it didn’t specify the customer group. so it was answered to be illegal..: second one is an influencer thing. we already discussed that. its illegal as you do business in Thailand with local content/products and locals can consume it. you take away a business opportunity for a local. illegal. and again not your normal remote worker.

will you ever come up with a normal case? i guess there is none 🤷‍♀️

@Sefton *******

i dont give much about the „law firm“ websites that are mostly advertisement (here its their insurance in the end) and often incorrect. it even states that you could get a work permit but in reality you can only get it with a boi registered company and not your employer abroad.

@Sefton *******

didn’t find anything about that teacher besides one single article in your linked australian news media. he most likely was setting up some business in the eyes of authorities. all these stories are not about normal remote workers. it feels like you are trying to prove your point with these sketchy cases of detentions and deportations. no one will arrest a normal remote worker.

@Sefton *******

the „story“ of the english teacher is nowhere to be verified. are there other sources that confirm the story? the detention for illegal work and the fact that he never teached locals and that he didnt set up a local business? i cannot find anything about that case.

literally all of these stories are not a normal remote worker, but people that do shady business and take away local job opportunities.

@Oleksandra *********

you need to inform yourself about the whole stories and reasons behind those arrests. none of these cases is a simple remote worker. they set up whole illegal business in thailand and/or take away local labor opportunities. way different.

@Sefton *******

not a single case where its just a normal remote worker… you only come up with very special cases where foreigners put up some business or do some shady teaching or produce content in thailand (influencers, etc.)… where is john, the 45yo remote office worker? or Victor, the 36yo software developer?

@Sefton *******

the chinese currency exchange guys broke multiple laws as you can read in the text. not very useful as an example for your normal remote worker joe that works alone and remotely for a company abroad

@Sefton *******

youtubers and influencers are technically not working remotely. why dont we talk

about the people with normal remote jobs that take a phone call with a client in the US or have a team meeting with the company in france or code some stuff for a svedish company or write some mails…

@Sefton *******

link me the news. we will see if it was for REMOTE work for a NON-THAI entity. people that get in trouble usualy did local work. ;) online teachers, hair dressers and such…

@John *********

correct. and not yours either… yet we can see the facts. the reality. not a single report about anyone having problems working remotely under any of these visa. in the past there even have been officials saying that its perfectly fine. now with the TAT you see the same. its pretty evident what is okay and what is not
