TLDR : Answer Summary

The consensus is that being a seaman does not qualify one to apply for a DTV visa as a remote worker. While a seaman can engage in remote work, reliable documentation proving remote work status is necessary for the application. Some users suggest exploring alternative options.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

Unfortunately it doesn’t count, even though crew are the real nomads. Go the soft power route instead.

You can be remote worker but not seaman. If you have reliable documents about remote workers you can apply DTV.
