Do I need a DTV visa to work remotely in Thailand for 2-3 months?

If only 1 time DTV is not for you.

You need to get a visa that allow you to work legally during your stay in Thailand.

Would never ever try to bend rules and work illegally in a country that would be worth visiting again some other time.

Labor laws in many countries I’ve looked at don’t specifically address remote workers employed abroad and those that have permit it because it doesn’t threaten local employment, which is the whole purpose of having the laws in the first place. Thailand seems to be following this example which is why they’ve been so relaxed about giving out 5 year visas that explicitly permit remote work from overseas employers. Be careful of all the alarmist crap you’ll read on forums like Thaivisa. I challenge people to find a single case where a foreigner in Thailand was deported or charged for working online for a foreign employer where they were paid in a foreign bank account. Be far more concerned about things like overstays, which they do take seriously.

Legally? I have no idea, I couldn't care less (I have a DTV for remote work already, so) but I remember some government (Tourism Authority of Thailand) ads (they're in YouTube actually) where they explicitly invite tourists to come to Thailand and work remotely.

Legally you cant work without one.. Reality is no one checks, so much so many even believe it isnt the law.

Who knows you’re working if you don’t admit. They’re not exerting panoptical control over or monitoring of each tourist. If they expelled you the ground of that, that would be a huge scandal.

93 passports get 60 days visa exemption stamp on arrival

You can go to your local immigration office and buy a 30 day extension for ฿1,900

You have to figure out the rules of your local immigration office to figure out when you can buy the 30 day extension as every single immigration office has their own rules

Good luck

It's not strictly legal to work remotely from Thailand on a tourist entry, people do it but they keep it quiet. The DTV is one of only 2 visas that allow you to do so legally

You are taking a risk but I would say it is very minimal. I used to do work whilst on holiday all the time before I had a DTV because I couldn’t disconnect from work completely.

Come on a tourist entry and just keep your mouth shut about working
