TLDR : Answer Summary
Those on a Digital Work Visa (DTV) in Thailand may need to provide proof of continued employment with their remote company when extending the visa. If someone is laid off after obtaining the DTV, it could impact their visa status; however, border runs may be a temporary solution for maintaining visa validity.
