Digital nomads to be allowed to work in Thailand without needing a work permit


Recommended Posts

Digital nomads and farangs are in an inverted relationship. As the perceived esteem of one has risen substantially the other has fallen.

I didn't know that there is such a term in the Thai language for "digital nomad" (arai wha) much less provisions for the concept...

As I remote worker, I would switch to this visa. Of course, the devil is in the detail....and effort/worth hoops.

Many digital nomads don't pay tax in any country, working under the radar. 

If they would pay tax their work would not be so lucrative anymore. 

They may not be interested.

That's fair. I don't blame them and would avoid taxes as well, if I could ????

 

In my specific case though, I pay a bunch of income tax in my home country already and would just prefer that Thailand didn't also try to take an additional slice. It's details like that that may end up making or breaking the popularity of the visa imo.

The TAT (Tourism Authority of Thailand) is making visa and work permit  policy now...me thinks the Foreign Ministry, Interior Ministry (Immigration), and the Labour Department will have something to say about this.
