If I take into account all the requirements and especially the cost of living, I will definitely not choose any of the metropolises or tourist hotspots. Then I'll see myself in Isan . Udon Thani easily meets all requirements .

Maybe a translation error, I understand that he means that the decision has not yet been published in the Royal Thai Gazette, so it is not yet valid. And that is correct

@Andrew **********

Why say no to a technically absolutely correct answer?

Even a stupid laughing smiley as a comment is of no use. You should already know a little about the legal situation. I have attached a brief article from Germany.

That's only half true, the law has been passed but not yet in force. As already described. For this reason....

And this applies to ALL LAWS in Thailand. But it's actually like that almost all over the world. When a parliament decides something, it must first be published in the law sheets before it can be passed

The new 60 day rule has been approved , but it is not yet in force. Only after publication in the Royal Thai Gouvernment Gazette .

@Greg *****

No, the new rule has been decided, but will only take effect after publication.

Any adopted change will only become legally effective when it is published in the Royal Thai Gouvernment Gazette. This always appears on Thursday. This means that even if something is decided and launched, it is always serious after publication.

Even the question about work based on donations shows that you are actually informed about the legal situation.It is therefore not entirely clear to me what answers you expect here. Ideally, you should find out about the consequences if you are caught and reconsider your plans without work visa to offer services. And of course donations are also a paid service.

Your hotel, landlord or host must register with immigration. All within 24 hours. That would be the right thing to do, and I'm sure many people will write again and do it not. But that is the law.
