Do I need a letter from my employer to work remotely in Thailand if my contract allows it?
If my contract says I work remotely and that I can work from anywhere, is it possible I’d still need a letter from my employer?
Answer summary
Even if your contract allows remote work from anywhere, it is advisable to obtain a letter from your employer confirming your remote work status when applying for Thailand's Destination Thailand Visa (DTV). This letter serves as an official acknowledgment that you are authorized to work while in Thailand, addressing any requirements set by the immigration authorities.

Have them draft an employment certificate stating you are currently employed and authorized to work remotely in Thailand specifically. The MFA wants to see it in words, even if it's implied in the contract.
