your best move forward, If you are set on working as a teacher in Thailand, is getting the correct visa/work permit for that, and keep everything you are doing online on the down low. Don't advertise for customers in Thailand. Don't be loud about doing it. Nobody would know if you did or not if you don't advertise it. And if it's legit only remote online work, not in any way related to Thailand, then nobody here will care.

On the other hand you could get a DTV letting you legally stay in Thailand for 5 years, and working for a remote company (or yourself online, not for Thai customers), but it's still a tourist visa and not possible to get a work permit with, which you WILL need to actually work as a teacher.

@Graham *****

no absolutely not. They would never care about your 90 days at the airport. The theoretical fine would be next time OP went to the immigration office after the next entry.

But I think that's pretty far fetched, seeing as he is leaving the country on that date.

He is good.

No worries.

If you have previously done one in person in your current entry, you could do one online between 14 and 7 days before. Easy and takes only a few minutes to do. If not, you are probably good anyway. You will be leaving on the day. In worst case, you could be fined 2000 baht for missing it, but hard to imagine anyone pressing that when leaving the country the date of.

he needs to be in Thailand with you.

@Chris *******

when were your last 2 visits to Laos for the same reason? That's an important part.

@Peter *********

I think most do.

Myanmar/Burma is closed by land from Thailand at the moment. Several Laos borders with Thailand demand that you stay 2 nights before going back. The only way to go around that for sure is to use an agent that will take you there and back the same day.

And as

@Tod ********

said, some offices are okay even without one.. So go ask if for some reason you can't file a new one easily.

If your latest tm30 is from there. Meaning if you didn't travel internationally, or stayed somewhere else in Thailand that registered a tm30 on you, then you are fine. It's always only the latest tm30 that matters. If unsure, file a new one online or in person. Easy.
