Thereâs always a chance youâll be asked questions, whether youâre holding a visa or entering under a tourist exemption; thatâs the immigration officerâs job. The most important thing is that you can prove youâre on the correct visa at the time you cross the border. If you can, you wonât have any issues. And yes, itâs rare, but it can happen. Iâve done over 60 exits and only got serious questions twice, no redflag, with the same legit visa for years. When people say they didnât get any questions after 1, 2, 3, or even 5 entries, it doesnât really mean much...
People are now posting about immigration checks at some gyms... Probably not the wisest move, especially knowing that even the gym wouldnât bother covering for her and may even consider reporting it đ.
Forget about both of those. Most expats can't get a loan. It's possible with a Thai company, but not easy. Only a few can get a credit card, and only with a work permit and decent salary.
It's all about the money and where it comes from. If you're getting paid by YouTube, it usually isn't an issue. But if you're selling your services to people in Thailand or promoting businesses here (and getting any kind of commission), then you're considered to be working in Thailand and need the proper visa.
You are not allowed to work within Thailand, whether with Thai nationals or foreigners. I believe taking photos of Thailand and selling them to foreign entities is likely acceptable or falls into a grey area, but taking photos for clients based in Thailand is prohibited under a DTV visa.
Anonymous participant Come to the South and you'll see that unfortunately, no visa type really does the job. I was able to get some local prices around Bangkok, but almost nowhere in the South. Driving licenses, work permits, and so on arenât accepted.
