kenkannif, peaceblondie, ijustwannateach - wow, what happened to them?

This is ridiculous. I cancel appointment but they suspend account for 10 days. So I cannot do nothing now. Cannot delete account. Cannot change number passport for make new account. Try send message to support and ask change appointment date manually but think no chance...

Do you get 30 days visa exempt at Mae Sai?

I thought this was stopped several years ago.

They've requested to see evidence of your claim that you are cancelling due to medical reasons. It doesn't appear from your post that you are prepared to provide evidence.

There is no minimum salary to apply for a work permit.

To apply for an extension of stay based upon working at immigration there is a minimum salary from 25k baht to 50k baht dependent upon nationality.

unless you are a teacher

The local labor office decides at their own discretion whether the teacher is working sufficient hours to justify a work permit. Our experience is that 16/week convinces them.

So they are not out to get us, that's a relief.

However, evidence of return/onward travel may be a visa requirement of the consulate/embassy where you apply for your visa.

Op'S mia chao is from pattaya and he complains that Thai people are constantly ripping him off. He needs to develop a 2nd brain cell.

As described there would be no issues. 

 

There are no definite laws at present.

Not true.

The statement is also breaking TV rules by encouraging illegal activity.

" 2) You will not use ThaiVisa.com to post any material which is knowingly or can be reasonably construed as false, inaccurate, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of any law. "

There are definite laws that apply to you the same way they apply to all foreigners living here. You need a non-immigrant (usually B but O based on marriage to a Thai is OK) plus a work permit to do any sort of work. You'll need to declare regular income earned by your labors in Thailand to the Thai Revenue department.

It's true there are no laws that allow remote working in Thailand without the appropriate visa and work permit. You won't be able to be legal unless you work through a Thai company/school. Saying that, it's unlikely you'll be caught.

I would say the police clearance certificate was not accepted because it was not issued in Bangkok. The  police clearance service center in Bangkok is the only location  that can issue them now as far as I know.

See: http://www.pcscenter.sb.police.go.th/eng/

As said a police clearance certificate is not normally require for a work permit application.

As far as I know, the forensics unit in Chiang Mai along the Mae Rim Road will still process an application. It's always been sent on to Bangkok though.

I use the car park regularly and yes it's busy but you can always find a parking space.

Do you believe links to the Alien Workers Act or to quotes from Digital Gonad blogs?

If there is someone at the labor dep who actually speaks good English and understand what a digital nomad is , we can have a conversation , if not it would be a waste of time.

I want to challenge the system , I want to bring my laptop to an official at the labor dep, not a corrupted officer but someone high up who can confirm what I do is legal. I can show them my Norwegian bank account , and my business overseas . 

 

Then we can have a big press conference and tell the world that digital nomads are welcome to Thailand. 

 

 

 

 

 

sounds great but you haven't got the balls

It's a outdated law that means even Immigration are unsure if working online is legal or not

 

When we start seeing convictions of people working online you can come back and say you were right, you may or may not be right, I have no idea

 

Until then .....

You can't be serious

I don't want to prove my case, I am not interested in if working online is legal or not, I have no idea if it is legal or not and don't care either way

 

What does bother me is that you continue to to insist that it is not without providing any proof apart from a outdated immigration act

You're a funny guy

I'm reliably informed they don't care if you don't attend either

Tis true, but the current mafia's days are numbered. I wouldn't rely on this to support a future life in Thailand.

They still work, I'm on ED visa right now and don't attend, my school is happy about it, gave me a 33% discount in fact. Granted I'm not African, the recent 'crackdowns' pretty much exclusively targeted them. 

Is it that self defence BS non-imm ED in Chiang Mai run by a military officer?
