Yes Sir. In reality, I have no involvement with Thailand, but my contract doesn’t mention that specifically. So I need to request the company to rewrite the contract. Is that correct? And is it necessary?Wannikea *********

Of course and digital work is ok as long as it's off shore. Just supply correct paperwork same as successful applicant before. Don't go over the top just give them what they want don't start sending them all this crap it doesn't help. It just helps your insecurity
