I applied to and received a DTV visa through the soft power route, since I’m not yet making a lot of money as a freelancer. Now I see that it says on my visa under remarks: ‘employment not allowed’. I was hoping to continue working for non-Thai clients. Can someone please confirm that even soft power visa holders are allowed remote work? I’m also unsure now what to put on my tdac.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about the possibility of working remotely for non-Thai clients while holding a DTV visa under the soft power category, which explicitly states ‘employment not allowed’. Comments from the community indicate that while DTV visas generally prohibit work, online remote work for foreign companies outside Thailand is permitted. However, specific interpretations suggest that remote work may be restricted depending on the nature of the clients and companies involved.
