Of course, never a HN thread about remote working without a Thailand subthread!<p>&gt; in Thailand I think the bigger problem is that they can&#x27;t get long term visas<p>To put this in perspective though, the longest visa I&#x27;ve ever seen here was a 3-year non-working business visa - effectively it&#x27;s meant for people who regularly travel to Thailand for business meetings&#x2F;etc but don&#x27;t regularly &quot;work&quot; here (I <i>know</i> how stupid that sounds).<p>Other than that, the maximum visa for <i>anything</i> is 12 months. So while the 30&#x2F;60&#x2F;90 day stays are not great if you&#x27;re doing a dodgy and working on a tourist visa, having a business visa + work permit is hardly a barrel of laughs. A Marriage visa is marginally easier, but obviously implies that you have a thai spouse.<p>&gt; Thailand is great for the food, climate, cheap living costs and culture. But it&#x27;s really bad for foreigners who want to start a digital business.<p>Having lived in several parts of Australia and operating as a sole-trader (similar to a single person LLC in the US I guess?), honestly the hassles to live + work in Thailand <i>are</i> a PITA but IMO they&#x27;re worth it.
