Question: Is AirBnB illegal in Thailand? . . . . . . . REPLY: . . . . . No, Airbnb is not illegal in Thailand, but short-term rentals of less than 30 days are illegal unless the property has a hotel license. Operating a short-term rental without this license is a violation of the Hotel Act and can lead to legal penalties and fines for the host. Long-term rentals (30 days or more) are generally not subject to these restrictions.

Key regulations

Short-term rentals (under 30 days): These are generally considered illegal for hosts without a hotel license, as they are seen as operating an unlicensed hotel.

Hotel license: To legally offer nightly or weekly stays, a property must obtain a hotel license, a process that involves specific requirements and bureaucracy.

Long-term rentals (30 days or more): These are typically legal and fall outside the scope of the Hotel Act's restrictions on short-term stays.

Penalties: Hosts who violate the law by offering short-term rentals without a license can face fines and other legal action.

What this means for guests

Book with caution: Be aware that some Airbnb listings may be operating in a legal grey area.

Prioritize long-term stays: If you plan to stay for a month or longer, you are less likely to encounter legal issues with your booking.

Consider alternatives: When booking short-term stays, consider hotels, which are fully licensed and operate within the law" . . . . . . . in other words: YOUR claims are worthless blunder

that's wrong. . . I won't link any official site that tells you, you need to help yourself to the realities of law . .why don't you ask Google? . .it says "hotel license" and I don't care HOW you call it. A permit is a permit

you cannot apply for the 90-days "retirement visa" outside of Thailand before December 31st, 2025. And you cannot get it inside Thailand either, on a touristic entry, except if you pay over 2000 U.S. Dollars to an agent so they can bribe an Immigration official

Mohammad Bellal Hussain . .you cannot apply for a 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement visa BEFORE you are not yet 50 years old! You need to fulfill the financial requirements for this visa. You cannot so easily get a Thai bank account opened on a tourist visa or on a visa-exempt entry anymore since February 2025. Only a handful of agencies can get an account opened for you and it will cost a fee of more than 60,000 THB with most agents. That's why you must apply for a 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa outside of Thailand before you fly to Thailand. You cannot apply for it before December 31st, 2025. You need to be 50 years old. Are you familar with the requirements for the application to the "1-year Extension of the Stay Permit based on being over 50/Retirement" ??? I hope you are, or there will be some rough awakening to the reality

@Jimi ***********

it depends. For stays under 30 days without a hotel licence, AirBnB rentals are illegal. For rentals longer than 30 days, AirBnB rentals are allowed

@Yo***

you are totally wrong. AirBnB is illegal for stays UNDER 30 days. AirBnB is legal for stays OVER 30 days. For stays of less than 30 days, a landlord needs to have a hotel licence

@Ronald ********

then you know at which numbers you need to look! On a WISE transfer, you will always receive a little bit less than what you would receive in the BKK Airport basement. You will NEVER get a better rate by WISE compared to the three Airport basement money changers

then there is a monthly limit, usually 200 GBP. After you have spent this limit, your WISE card charges 1.75% provision on every purchase . . have you ever read the fine print of the contract?

@Andi **********

you forgot to tell us that you always pay the 250 Baht ATM fee every time when you take out money with your WISE Debit Card 😎. And your monthly spending limit is 200 GBP, from this amount on WISE charges 1.75% provision on everything you pay with their card
