Many have given their opinions on how they think the law is.. I was really looking for a solid answer from someone who knows.. I'm not sure it's happened yet.. nevertheless it's all still been interesting.
That's what I believe too.. just thought it might have been legally allowed here.. as no Thai company is employing and no Thai customers.. thought it might have been possibly legally allowed.
yes any Thai national who is responsible for the property be it a tenant or the owner.. in my case as I am the tenant the owner has to notify immigration... but she couldn't be asked so I have to find a way around it.
it's not about whether I pay rent or not .. the person who owns the property or who is renting it must notify immigration 24 hours before hand.. and it can be hassle, it's just easier for me to say I'm staying at a hotel. That way no one has to notify immigration 24 hrs before and less paperwork to file at immigration when extending permission to stay.
Oh I know that they will accept it.. Some of the immigration officers know me, as I've been here several years now.. they know my partner lives with me in the house I rent and that we have a child. . They just need papers to show.
In fact it was the immigration officers that told me to book in a hotel for one night and use the receipt as proof of residency..
