TLDR : Answer Summary

A Singaporean seeking to apply for the Workcation DTV visa can do so even if they work for a European company, provided they meet all other visa requirements. The ACRA company document is only necessary if applying at the Thai embassy in Singapore and if the applicant is employed by a Singapore-based firm. It is advisable to check specific requirements if applying at a different embassy, such as in Vietnam.

You only need ACRA document if you're applying at the Thai embassy in Singapore and are employed by a Singapore company. If you apply in VN check the requirements for it at their embassy website.

Yup, cause the VN site just says

2.5.1. Workcation:

(1) employment contract from employer outside Thailand;

(2) employment certificate from employer outside Thailand;

(3) in case there is no employment, professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status.

So they dont need any ACRA like document

Anonymous participant you wouldn't be able to interact business wise with any Thai companies or individuals on a DTV.

Anonymous participant you can use the group search tool keywords Singapore and Singaporean, I recall a couple successful applications with no fee being charged as per ASEAN status, can't recall the embassy used. BTW Vietnam is getting stricter, so if you apply there make sure you can produce business documents/registration and banking statements and possibly your tax filings that appease their demands.

I had to pay S$500 for the visa fee as the bilateral visa fee exemption agreement wasn't applicable for the application of DTV

Anonymous participant I have applied and got approved about two weeks ago for the DTV with the Thai embassy in Singapore. The ACRA business profile of your employer is required especially if the employer is a Singapore-based entity. You may want to write them an email at

to clarify what else can be provided instead in your case where your employer is a non Singapore based entity.

You are working remotely for a Singapore based company ? You had to submit the ACRA profile I am guessing ?
