Can DTV visa holders engage in remote work while living in Thailand?

I asked this question to Thai embassy in berlin - if you’re under DTV for soft power you are not allowed to work remotely. It’s solely workation category if you work remotely, under soft power you’re not supposed to work. That’s the theory ☺️

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days

It means you can't work for any Thai entities, Thai customer or any foreign customer present in Thailand.

All DTV visas are work prohibited, meaning you can not get a work permit and work for a Thai company or for Thai clients. Online remote work for companies/ clients outside Thailand is however permitted.
