Can I work remotely in Thailand on a retirement visa while living there with my wife?

Jack *********

Lol. It's very confusing because everyone has a different interpretation of the rules. I figure if I just go by what is written on the Thailand immigration website then i will be okay but it's confusing.

Understood, this was written in 2019 before the pandemic which forced most of the world to work remotely. Are you saying the visas haven't changed since 2019? It seems to me like the visas are changing constantly here but I don't know.

Thanks for the information, I have the money ready to be wired over. Do you know if it needs to sit in the Thai bank for 2 months first and then fill out the forms? Also, can my wife ride on my visa as a dependent? I'll go on their website later today.

We had to hire a visa agent to help us do it at Bangkok Bank in Phuket. It was worth the money.

Just an FYI, this no longer works in Phuket. If I was in Bangkok I totally would try.

I paid a Visa agent to negotiate, cost 10,000 baht which includes the accident insurance. I know I probably overpaid but she also answered a bunch of my other questions and acted as an interpreter. So I was happy.
