Kateestonia Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 I've heard that there are possibilities to that. Would be thankful to get answer from someone who knows about this topic for sure. Any lawyers who can advise in this topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myran Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 There are no "freelance visas". You either have to start your own company (I believe the majority of it has to be owned by a Thai, though) or get employed by a Thai company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk10002000 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 So called Freelancer is a very gray area right now. Digital nomads, internet bloggers etc. I doubt you will find any good precedents about getting some sort of valid work permit approved. If looking for something that will allow you a good visa to stay in country for extended periods, you might look into the Elite Visa. That can certainly get you a 5 year Visa. There is quite a bit of doubt as to what working as a free lancer really means and if work permit regulations apply. (I am presuming some sort of internet work is what you have in mind).

PoorSucker Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 To get a work permit you must be employed by an Thai entity with 2 million baht capital and four Thai employes per alien. This can be be halved if you have Thai family. No, there is no "freelance" work-permit and visa. Any lawyers who can advise in this topic?

Elite Visa definitely does not allow any working so it is useless in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
