, Most people i know own a company outside of Thailand and don't trade with Thai companies or offer any services within Thailand, so if they own a US company and pay taxes in the US, but managing their business from their laptop while traveling or staying in Thailand to support their wife and children then i'm not sure a work permit would be required. Unless of course they was trading with Thai companies. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

I know quite a few freelancers living in Thailand and I’ve never heard of any of them needing a work permit, but there might be some certain rules apply. I had a read of this article it seems to explain it well:

I see, so there must be a different line contact because nobody has replied on line for 3 days. If I walk into immigration they might see it’s fake and arrest me for overstay. I tried to look if there is a website to confirm the visa is real but I don’t think there is one.

I did a 1 year visa with this company in May this year, everything went smooth, passport came back with the stamp etc, but now I’m concerned if it’s a real stamp or not. Is there any way to confirm if it’s real without visiting immigration?
