How many days can you work remotely in Thailand without facing tax issues, and is the LTR visa suitable for remote work?

Paul *******

@Jo *********

You are providing inaccurate advice. It is totally illegal to do any work in Thailand without the apprropriate work visa. If you are caught by police or immigration (and many are every month) then you face heavy fine, jail time, expolsion and banned from returning to Thailand.

Can you transition from a marriage visa extension to a retirement visa extension in Thailand without leaving the country?

Paul *******

I had been on an extension of stay based on being over 50 years (retirement) for a number of years. Then due to puchasing a house I did not have the required 800,000 thb in the bank so I applied for and got an extension based on being married to a Thai lady. However the Immigration officer advised me that I cannot keep changing the reason for extension and that in future I would need to continue to apply for an extension based on marriage. Regardless of her warning, the next year my finances were better and I had no problem in applying for and getting an extension based on being over 50.

Are visa runs in Thailand being cracked down on? Should I consider long-term visas instead?

Paul *******

Yes. You need a long tern visa or extension of stay to represent the reason that you are spending a long time in Thailand, Basically, Immigration are telling you that you are no longer a tourist.

Is a one-year rental lease required for LTR-WP visa holders in Thailand for short stays?

Paul *******

It is requested by Immigrationb but not always required. Immigration will ask for your 12 month lease and you need to provide it if you have one. If you do not have a lease, then Immigration will question you about your accommodation and may then require additioanl documentatio. In my case, I do not have a lease because I live in my (Thai wife's) home. So I must provide my house book to Immigration.

What are the risks of working part-time without a work permit in Thailand on a non-O visa?

Paul *******

My experience of living here for well over 10 years is that Immigration will always take action if they find people working without an appropriate work permit. Period. Trouble: big fime, jail, expulsion from the kingdome. ban on reentry.
