If I came to Thailand on a Non Imm Education visa but continued to telecommute to my job in the USA would this be legal? I would think so since I'm not really working in Thailand and would still be paying US taxes if I did this.

Yes it is fine.

In the future if you marry a Thai. And if getting over 40 K Thai Baht per month and have tax records and a Thai bank account you can get the Non O visa.

If you are doing any business with Thai people or a company in Thai or Exporting you would Be breaking some laws and would need a work permit and the right visa.

More or less if your work in the States and wages are there. Just keep it on the down-low and study hard

Peace

Dont advertise you are working and you will be fine.

As Brit notes ^^ stay under the radar and you'll be fine.

Technically, you are working and therefore require a work permit. Unfortunately the Thai labour/immigration system does not have a vehicle to support this MO without going to the expense of setting up a company, which of course nobody in their right mind would do for a bit of telecommuting.

legally you need a work permit.

illegally, many fly under the radar.

If you are out of the US and working for long enough, no need for the taxes

Sorry that’s wrong, as a US citizen all your Worldwide income is taxable (many questions are asked about living expenses etc if you are out of the US for any length of time)

Thank you for your answers. I think I'll just play it safe and keep it to myself.
