a day ago
I'm currently in Thailand on tourist visa and want come back next month to my country - Poland and apply for dtv digital nomad.

I will start my work remotely in next week:

Can this be a problem if I start working while being in Thailand or I am overthinking?or maybe better start work when I will be back in Poland but them I will have agreement only for one week...

Does someone has example of statement which my employee must fulfil ?

Can they ask about my bank statement from few months or only current month?

Thanks in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post raises concerns about the legality of working remotely in Thailand while on a tourist visa and the application process for a DTV digital nomad visa after returning to Poland. Responses indicate that working on a tourist visa is not permitted and suggest that pursuing a DTV visa is advisable. They also mention that banks statements may be required by the employer or authorities, possibly covering several months.

Ah, and they can ask virtually for anything - including 6 months bank statements. It just depends how convincing for them you are. If they see you're not sincere they will ask for a proof of any detail.

Legally, you're not allowed to work remotely on a tourist visa / exemption. It's a grey zone. The green zone for remote work is DTV visa.
