Question 2

Can I work remotely in Thailand legally?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with the right visa. The DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) explicitly allows remote work for foreign employers since 2024. It grants 5 years, 180 days per entry. The LTR visa also allows work with a digital work permit. Tourist visas and visa exemptions do NOT permit any form of work, including remote work.

Question 3

How much money do I need to live in Thailand long-term?

Accepted Answer

Financial requirements vary by visa: DTV requires 500,000 THB (~€13,000) in savings. Retirement requires 800,000 THB (~€20,000) in a Thai bank or 65,000 THB/month income. Marriage visa requires 400,000 THB (~€10,000). LTR requires $80,000+/year income. Elite requires a one-time fee of 600,000-2,000,000 THB.
