"When government and Paypal work together, disaster occurs" (Patreon)

When I first started Patreon, I have said that it was hard being an artist in Thailand because the government doesn't support or provide any welfare.

But now, living in Thailand has turned from hard mode to nightmare mode with Paypal issuing a new policy that effect only in my country. An only Business account can receive money (and according to law, must be registered as a corporation, has office location, and auditing)

This creates enormous burdens to many freelancers. Do you think a freelancer who works in a small apartment with only 1 PC like me will have the money to rent an office to open a corporation? (Cannot register apartment as office because I must be the owner of the place)

If that is is not difficult enough, Paypal has a promotion for us. Even if you can register a business account, you still cannot receive money through Payouts. This means you can't receive money from Patreon, Gumroad, etc.

This made me so stressed out recently, I cannot do work at all. ; w ;

If I can't clear this problem, or Paypal didn't change their policy before next year's February, I'll need to close my Patreon and change my profession instead. (LOL)

PS. Even if I closed down, I will still work on the rewards that was withheld. Do not worry. LOL
