Do business owners in Thailand need to write a letter explaining their remote work situation?

ORIGINAL POSTER
I’m seeing some business owners having to write a letter as the owner about how they can work remotely.

Has anyone here done this?

Seems odd writing a letter about yourself.

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
Several community members discuss the requirement for business owners to draft a letter confirming their ability to work remotely while in Thailand. They note that while it may seem unusual to write about oneself, it is a necessary step for visa compliance. Tips include mentioning no local income and possibly providing contracts or incorporation certificates depending on the origin of the business.

Yes that is what you need to do. A employer contract to you from you, also include that you are able to work remotely and earn your income from outside of Thailand.

Of course if you are the business owner and all your work is remote then why not that’s the whole idea of it right

It does seem odd…. But, it works haha. You can ask chat gpt if you need a template, but just go for it mate. Tick the boxes, make sure to include that no Thai customers, etc.
