ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone,

My spouse holds a DTV, and I’ll be applying as a dependent. My question is: If I stay in Thailand under the dependent visa, can I continue working remotely for an employer outside Thailand (with no Thai clients, no Thai-based income, no Thai employment or business operations)? Thanks in advance for any insights or official/lived references/anecdotes you may have.
