Well, if each stay was for a week or so then you won't have any issues. If each time you visit thailand you stay there for a month or over then you might get a very hard time when u get in. The 3rd time I tried to get in the country last year I got asked a lot of questions at the immigration, I had to show my ticket off and that I had enough money to live there. I got free when I showed them I have a business (a cram school) in another country and that I was there just for holidays

Educational visa means you need to attend the school/course cuz the school gets raid. it's valid 90days which can be renewed up for a year. No money to show off but u obviously have to pay the school. DTV visa needs 500k in bank, it's 180days that can be extended up to a year

porcoddio, I've tried to read that 5 times and still didn't get it

@Kool ******

not true, if you get an ED visa you don't need to show u got 500k in the bank which is just for the DTV visa

@Henrik ****

dude, you should read the point #2 before stating that is only for people who work from remote.

of course, porcoddio. You can get an ED visa without showing off money but if you want the DTV one of the requirement is to show finances over 500k thb

well, if u sit and drink beer that's less likely to happen.... The problems come when the cops got a picture of you holding a rake in your hand and you have to prove in front of a judge that you were just doing gardening. I had to deal with the cops in the past and the captain got mad at me forcing me to pay for something I didn't have to otherwise he would have put me in the monkey house till the day of the process....

nobody is going straight to the point. Thailand is highly corrupted, if you get the cop that sees u doing your house work and he decides that you need to bribe him, then u got no chances besides of that. The same goes if a jealous neighbor calls the cops reporting u were working. Technically you can do gardening and minor house work but in practice, if it's a bad day you might end up in jail with cops telling u how much u need to pay otherwise they'll kick u out of the country. That obviously happens more often in touristic places but I know a few guys around udon thani e khon kaen that got into this sort of issues...

u can do every job you want and you can own land... If u like thailand that's they best u can get

I know some folks and they've been doing that since they've opened for covid (out every 3 months) and never got an issue. People cannot say this but I've heard there are helpers at the airport that will help you get through the passport check for a small fee if u got that apec card....
