Hey would love some help. I work for a UAE based company. 

But I’m applying from London as a U.K. citizen does this matter when applying from the London embassy please guys. 

I saw the requirement mention this and thought it meant the company must be U.K. based: 

“Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status”

Thanks

I’m a UK citizen applied in London but work for a Singapore registered fully remote company. As long as they say you can work remotely it’s fine

You are fine working for a UAE firm, applying in London. You must not work for a Thai company/clients. The requirement is to present the docs relating to your place of work which can be in the UK or anywhere else in the world aside from Thailand.
