I mean sure, but the chances of that ever being enforced are close to 0. I'm a full time digital nomad for over a year in various latin american countries, always on tourist visas. Nobody notices or cares.

The only time I ever had an issue is when entering the united states, the immigration department gave me a grilling because my passport showed that I was clearly a nomad and they expected me to be working online.

Go ahead, take that holiday.

No worries, I am not limiting myself :)

When I was in Thailand years ago a coffee shop was raided, and I heard some bad experiences of people being to stupid about their visa forms.

I never had issues myself, but it's not exactly unheard of.

What was that like? "Put your hands up and prove to me this isn't just your side project"?

The people in the raid got jailed over night as far as I remember. Thailand was basically just noticing this trend and reacting, afaik this hasn't happened again.

About the visas people just were really stupid to be honest about their income (or lack of)
