Do I need a work permit to create YouTube videos in Thailand if I am monetized on the platform?
Chris *******
It becomes tricky if you are creating content IN Thailand.

Otherwise what you do quietly in your own privacy is your business.

No work in Thailand, no revenue in Thailand.

@Rob ********
 if you went overstay, a few days etc, You would pay the fine and when you reenter it continues as normal.

If you go serious overstay you would get fined and banned as usual rules.

He did not receive an extension yet.

He said it's due in February.

So at this point, no one can can confirm anything.

UNTIL someone gets an approved extension and then even offices will differ.

So it is still speculation.

Safer to leave the 800k in the account and not chance a mix up.

A friend just got denied an extension because there was a 5 baht drop 1 day.
