Delvonte Arnold. Those issued in Thailand have no QR code

Roman Philippi. It's actually been "in the works" for about five years. However, it may be closer now although there are some conditions to meet. An applicant has to prove they are earning minimum US$40,000 per year, which I imagine is to ensure they pay a minimum income tax in Thailand, although this doesn't entitle them to social security and hence must carry $100,000 of health insurance. This will not deter most digital nomads, but there will still be plenty who prefer to work under the radar.

Brett Wilkins. You can get a secondary job entered on your work permit, but it needs the approval of the main employer. This is usually most common where an English teacher works for two different employers

David Cymru. The bogus ED and volunteer visas are not available at this stage, as immigration offices have had a senior management shake-up and all illicit visas have been put on hold

Zai Joud. Only if your employer agrees to this, and only if the "other job" complies with Thailand requirements

Whichever way you look at it, working in Thailand requires a work permit. Unless your company is prepared to set up a subsidiary in Thailand and employ you, you will be working illegally. Many do it of course, but if you're caught out, you will probably get booted, so keep that in mind

You need the certificate from the Mor Prom app. That's got the QR code which can be accessed anywhere in the world. The Yellow Passport is ok, but some places may not accept it, as it's not electronic
