So creating anything is out?Arget wrote:work for immigration purpose is "any activity where a person could reasonably expect remuneration"
e.g.
sitting at a table with products for sale.
No writing books.
No gardens bigger than you can consume and definitely no building.
No cooking for others.
No mechanical forays.
Etc........
Grey area.

Look at it this way. If someone else was to do the activity would they expect payment?Barang chgout wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2018 8:10 amSo creating anything is out?Arget wrote:work for immigration purpose is "any activity where a person could reasonably expect remuneration"

This is only for adjudging if a person on a visa without permission to work is in breach of the visa condition.

I think the phrase is gainful emlpoyment.Barang chgout wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 7:53 pm How can work be work?
If I'm "retired" and have time on my hands, perhaps i chose to build a house or grow a hectare if vegetables because I like to and want to fill my time with something constructive....
Define work more precisely for me please. ( i make NO money).
Anybody can grow vegetables, but a barang is not allowed to grow them and sell them. If you're not making money from it, it's not gainful employment.
I find it strange that people can identify a working Mexican or Costa Rican, but they don't understand the term 'work'.

Who takes the money for the fucking oranges? Him? Then it's working because it's a fucking shop and he's taking money. As a white guy you sit on the customers side of the fucking table and you aren't working. Behind the table and you are working.

No, not at all. It is because those of us who have lived here a long time do not like to second guess either The Ministry of Interior or Foreign Affairs. It is their job to define and ours to comply. You're accusing the wrong party of loopholes.
If selling juice on the street in the capital order to make a profit isn't work, then what is it? Supporting your family?
A small comparison:
If my (fictional) Cambodian wife, while on a visa without permission to work, was caught selling stuff in my (fictional) shop in Schengenland because I had other obligations that day, and she was caught, she would be on the first flight back home (at my expense), my company would be fined 5-10k EUR for employing people without the correct documents and she would get a life time ban for another visa.
This guy was just stupid and short sighted.

There used to be a foreign couple selling coffee outside a school on St 482, they didn't last long
Almost every single honky can get a job teaching English just by being white. Even the backpacker losers at Genius School for Wankers can earn a minimum of $800/month, which is way more than any joice stall will make, and it's also way more than most Khmer vendors make. Stick to that.
I guess some are trying to avoid work permits by doing this, because schools are checked more stringently.
It's a very quick way to make Khmers pissed off with expats, and you don't want that.

Police put the squeeze on him for selling juice. He should have got his wife to employ him and obtain a work permit so he could work for her when she is unable to. He's hardly Warren Buffett. Anyway a bit late for that now, but what about the guys that pick up cans on the street? Perhaps they could say they are collectors and that's a hobby of theirs. Think that would fly?

No need to make a drama, nothing happened to him. Then people still think that it's complicated to live in Cambodia now...
ONLY MONKEYS THINK THAT I AM NOT LIVING IN CAMBODIA BECAUSE I USE VPNs and PROXIES.
Sorry but I do not reply to idiots, especially the old ones.
