Sarong it's right: Coining it in Thailand without a visa

Thai "Elite Card" for 5 years visa

Just google "Thai Elite Card". For those under retirement age (< 50 yrs old) buying this "elite card" for 500,000THB (17,000US$) gives 5 years visa, reporting once a year (Thai Elite Card does the reporting for you) and you can stay and keep on working as you do.

It comes with some perks (priority immigration line, limo , golf, yearly medical checkup, some that you would never use too).

It is not a work visa but it's all a grey zone for Thais, the laws are decades old, before "digital nomads" were even thinkable of.
