Hi everyone!
I have a DTV visa as a remote worker, and my wife also received a DTV visa as my dependent. She also has her own remote business, but all of her clients are back home — none are in Thailand.
My question is: Is she legally allowed to continue working remotely from Thailand even though her DTV visa is issued as my dependent? And if immigration asks what she does here, can she openly say that she works remotely for clients outside of Thailand?
Thanks in advance for any advice or experience!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around whether a wife, holding a DTV visa as a dependent, can legally work remotely for clients outside Thailand. Some participants believe she is allowed to work remotely, while others argue that since her visa is tied to the husband’s DTV status, she is technically not permitted to work in Thailand. The opinions vary, focusing on the specifics of Thai immigration rules regarding remote work and its definitions.
