How could they catch you and what are the penalties, do you know? Any anecdotes you could share?
Been thinking about hanging out in SEA doing remote work for a few months, would like to know the real situation.
- cageface 12y agoTechnically you can face a hefty fine or even jail time. I can't say I've known anyone personally that's faced this but I've heard stories. Apparently right now there's a big crackdown on tourist visas in Thailand, with people being asked to justify 2-3 month stays in Thailand with extensive itineraries and documentation and people with multiple previous tourists visas being denied entry. If you're just there on the 30-day exemption you're probably ok, particularly if you've never been to Thailand before. Cambodia and Vietnam are much laxer in this regard. Technically you're not supposed to be working in either of those places either without a permit but I've never heard of anyone having issues.
- josai 12y agoHm. Thanks for the info. Food for thought...
