You cannot be in Phuket legally and only work online. The Thai immigration are clamping down on Digital Nomads And this is a crime. Unless one of you has a proper job offer do not even risk it !
We did the same day border bounce BUT you must have 20 000 baht CASH and your flight out of Thailand aswell as a valid accomodation booking in Thailand They check everything! We came back in no prob as we met all the requirements.
Yea it is crazy. He has a visa every time he comes here. But when wanting to extend ..... they just say not needed !! I would think they happily take the fee and extend as we are standing in immigration. But they just work out his age and give back his passport ! Then send us away !
How does this affect children? Immigration always refuses to extend for my son and tell me he doesn't need anything and he won't get banned. They send us away every time. He is only 13y but we have been waiting for paperwork to get his ED visa as he is at school here in Thailand. But he travels between here and his home.
