Can we apply for jobs while on a DTV in Thailand?
TLDR : Answer Summary
While you can apply for jobs while on a DTV (Tourist Visa), working for a Thai company is prohibited without a work permit and appropriate visa, such as a Non-B visa. You can pursue remote jobs or apply for positions outside Thailand, but any job offer within Thailand would require transitioning to a work-eligible visa.
DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
- Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
- For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
- Explore recent discussions by using the DTV Visa tag in the search box at the top of the page.

Sure, you can apply for all the jobs you want, in and outside of Thailand. Once you get an offer from a company to work IN Thailand though you (or your employer) need to arrange for a non-B and a work permit which will cancel out the remainder of your DTV.

Why should you get DTV when you want to apply for work, but are not allowed to workJames *******
@Luit ****************
he could apply for a job outside of Thailand or he might want to work in Thailand if the right job came up and get a work permit later.Luit *****************
@James ******
everybody with or without DTV can do that, bottom line is that DTV visa is not a visa that is of any use if you want to find a job in Thailand.James *******

You will need to change visas. First you find a job then the company will need to provide the paperwork for you to apply for a Non-B visa which you take to immigration and convert the DTV to a Non-B visa
