Reply to comment by fullload93 in CNN ‘deeply regrets’ distress caused by report on Thailand nursery killings by darthatheos

I imagine most countries would give you a pretty light sentence or not even charge you for working on a tourist visa (without overstaying it). It can have a negative effect on your tourism industry if it is high profile.

Depends on the nature of the work. Remote worker/digital nomad? Practically unenforced. But working any job that's physically in the country (and would otherwise employ locals) is usually a pretty big deal.

Journalism I would expect to be an entirely different matter since it's usually a separate visa category, and in some countries is more about regulating and monitoring media than immigration.

Like, say, Thailand. Which is ruled by a military junta. They did some trappings of elections in 2019, but the current PM was... Well the 2014 coup leader so, yeah.

Happened to the musician Kina Grannis in Indonesia. She was trapped in the country for months after a concert promoter didn't get the proper permits.
