agreed but some people on this page are treating others like prisoners of war

@Duncan ******

it’s a very gray area I was the Asia Pacific regional director we had a lot of people working in Thailand remotely. They were employed in Singapore or Japan as there work contract place. Our legal counsel looked into this and it was ok. of course it depends.

@Duncan ******

your saying that the 10,000s of people that come here for business meetings or working while holiday need a visa - no.

@Paul ******

absolutely not . I work in association with a Japanese company that’s sends numerous people for many different reasons. The company had dialogue with ministry of manpower/labor and it is allowed. 1000s come here monthly from foreign companies. They come in visa exempt. They could be doing marketing, visiting a branch office, or setting of regional office, attending a conference or anything related. There are people like you that believe that sending an email or answering a work call while on holiday will put you in jail. This is your nonsense

people will tell you that you cannot work here remotely but you can as long as you keep it quiet and minimal. Mostly that work is not something a Thai could do and there links to Thailand in any way. They crack down on teaching on line in Thailand to foreign countries

LTR visa means you can work in Thailand remotely without paying taxes. Getting the LTR is not difficult if you work for a big company in a specific role for 5 years. You need to show documents including last 2 years of tax returns. you need to make 80k USD
