Thailand
During the COVID-19 pandemic, employers were asked by the government to let their employees work from home. Although this policy has now been lifted, the Thai Government is seeking to amend the LPA to allow for more flexible working arrangements for local employees to be able to choose how they want to work. In terms of remote working for foreign workers, the only way a foreign worker can work remotely from Thailand legally is by holding a valid work visa and/or permit.
To be able to work remotely in Thailand, an individual must hold working rights in Thailand. This could be in the form of citizenship to the Kingdom of Thailand or through a valid work visa and permit. For foreigners, Thailand has various visa options that can facilitate the ability to live and work in Thailand freely as a foreign remote worker, including the Elite Visa or a Long-Term Resident visa. There is strict criteria to be eligible to apply for these types of visas.
