monk213 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 If you had a Youtube channel that made money, would that require a work permit? I mean it is hardly work and how would you even go about it, imagine trying to explain the logistics of earning money from uploading videos onto a website to a Thai immigration officer.

monk213 Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Wouldnt bother with getting one Not like your taking a job away from a local Not quite at the point yet of making enough for revenue, but I will be soon, it will be pretty obvious and blatant as well as Youtube is pretty popular. All it would take would be for one person in the right position to see it and clock on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Making money or not is not the issue, the issue is: are you working, e.g. making and uploading vdo's. If yes: then yes, this is work, so officially WP required. Would I bother with a WP for that? Very, very likely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I decide that I would like to because the current Junta seems to be pretty damn serious and I have been on the wrong side of the police once and that wasn't fun, to be on the wrong side of the Junta cannot be a barrel of laughs either. but if I do decide to try and get one for this purpose, what would I need to do to obtain the WP? Normally you need a sponsor and an employer, this is Youtube... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tao Diver Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Unless you are going to be filming on location with a film crew then just how are the Junta going to know ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many ways, depends how large my channels continues to grow. Talking about it for a start is one way word can drift their way for example.

Maestro Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 In my opinion, updating my social media accounts – Google+, blogspot, sites.google.com, twitter, facebook, linkedin, YouTube, etc – is not an activity that would require a work permit in Thailand.

Yet even when these make money ?? YouTube is becoming a business solution for publishers to create revenue now. You only have to look at DRIVE+ to see the way video distribution is changing. I actually wrote this question to the gazettes issues and answers a few weeks ago to attempt to hear a official position. Seems no one will give one.
