Come to country take tourist visa and expand that one time so you can stay 2 months. If you want stay more, do border run.
Don't bother any immigration or labour officers with your online business (they don't understand remote work), work as usually.
Well, yes I was thinking I could just do this but I have read a lot of horror stories of foreigners doing these border runs before.
I have done a few border runs to Erlian, which is a small town on the border of Inner Mongolia (China) and Outer Mongolia. I have never had any issues with that.
I read that sometimes border patrol will make you pay them a lot of money/basically rob you when you are at the border between Cambodia and Thailand? Do they still do this type nonsense?
That never happened to me during my China border runs and I did that like 3 times.
If border runs are not a hassle from Cambodia to Thailand/Laos or Vietnam, then I will have no problem just doing that.
If I fall in love with the country and say I'm divorced in the future, would it be possible to purchase any types of long-term visas on my own or will I literally have to go through an English school to obtain any of these visas?
If this is the case, I wouldn't mind at least purchasing a work permit to help me more easily score a job there. I will just go the tourist visa route unless I really want to stay long-term.
I know there are some foreigners living in SEA long-term but constantly doing border runs...which seems pretty annoying.
