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.

Same for the South. 😢

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 aren’t accepted.

I kindly invite you to conduct your own research in other expat groups where members have several months of experience with immigration procedures. Many individuals have reported being fined THB 2,000; mostly when visiting immigration for documents/extensions. I'm not suggesting that everyone is fined, only that some have encountered this penalty. It is a law.

That grace period time window applies only if you're doing it. If you leave without completing it after 90 days, it is considered a non-report and may or may not have consequences.

Anonymous participant The only 100% legal way is to obtain a work permit and register your work under it. Many agents may offer various solutions, but in most cases, they are not operating legally themselves.

As mentioned, you cannot work in Thailand on a DTV visa. To teach, you must obtain a work permit and a Non-B visa.

No, you can't. You'll need a work permit and the appropriate visa. The DTV doesn't allow you to work in Thailand for or with Thai entities. Even working as a speaker for a U.S. company in Thailand still involves dealing with third-party entities. It falls into a gray area and may possibly be tolerated if it strictly targets employees of that company (your own colleagues) for informational purposes (not a paid seminar) and doesn't happen too frequently. Best is to check with the local immigration...

Being honest, I can't guarantee you this is happening, just some rumor, but I would keep a closer eye on it... We may see some more surprises. We already got plenty these days.
