ah, I get it. So you can open a coffee shop here without a permit because you are not stopping thai from also opening a coffee shop 😉
Every cup of coffee you sell is taking away a coffee that could have been sold by a Thai person. The same thing applies to views/videos. Every video you make, every ad you display, every sponsored video could have been done by a Thai but instead was taken by someone without work authorization in the kingdom.
The OP even mentioned promotion thai businesses, that called marketing. No matter how one trues to justify it, you are trying to find a way to run a business without following the laws.
I don't make the rules. It doesn't matter your opinion or my opinion on the rule. The law says no. Running a YouTube about Thailand from inside Thailand without a work permit will get you in trouble...which means immigration jail then deportation. Take your chance if you want.
if you are making content about Thailand in Thailand, that could be done by a Thai person. That is how you could be taking away a thai job. It's the same with any job, if you sell coffee on the street its the same effect.
If you are planning on promoting Thai business and Thailand, you need to start a company and get a work permit. Not doing so would likely land you in trouble.
If you make content about UK football, then it's still illegal under the letter of the law but no one would really care and it's unlikely you would ever get introuble.
Regarding contribution to economy, no one cares your 3k pounds.
The letter of the law, no. Any work, which could including sweeping your kitchen floor under the thai legal definition, requires a work permit. In practice though, it depends. This law is in place to protect jobs for thai people and is typically only applied if you are taking a job from a thai or do something wrong.
Will the youtube income be paid to which country is an important element. If you have a US business and it is paid to ther, that is good. If you are being Thailand that enters more legal concerning area.
Content of your youtube channel is really important. If it is about Thailand, then you need a work permit. They generally allow travel vloggers to make videos if they part of a larger journey. People living in Thailand full time making videos about it takes a job away from a thai person.
If your content is completely unrelated to Thailand and Thailand is not focused or centered, or ideally even mentioned then you are probably fine.
If you do something wrong in Thailand, they will 'throw the book at you' and charge you with everything possible. Don't do or say anything negative about Thailand, break laws, especially scams.
Well, technically about 1.8 x 10^12 days. Without fine though, it's 7 days. If you don't need anything from immigration before your next exit, you can sort of just ignore it.
It highly depends, really visa doesn't matter much at all. You can get a drivers license if you meet the requirements to get a drivers license. You can get a pink id card in some places with little requirements and in some it's almost impossible.
A bank account is pretty easy, you can really open on any visa, but having an Ed helps. If you get a resident certificate, and a letter from you school you shouldn't have an issue, but it can be done without as well, but you might have to try multiple places and be persistent.
They have not made click 125i for a few years. They did 150i for about 2 years, but now I believe they only make the click 160i. The lead was the replacement for click 125i.
Usually there is a fee for the card or added benefits for the account.
If you are paying 7000 it's probably insurance. If you not on a long term visa, they are more willing to open account for tourist that pay for extra insurance.
In general, the Immigration issued ones are 30 days from the day they write it, which may not be the day you receive it. It will explicitly state it on it.
