TLDR : Answer Summary

The individual inquires about their qualification for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) while working in England on a 6-month contract, as they usually enter Thailand on a multi-entry tourist visa. Comments suggest checking the requirements at the Thai embassy in London, noting potential financial criteria like a 500,000 baht requirement. It's advised that a remote work contract might help but continuous proof of income is needed for visa renewals. One commenter shares their experience receiving the DTV after providing proof of remote work.

Obtaining the visa with a contract stating that you are free to work remotely (from Thailand) should likely work. But only the Thai embassy in the UK can definitely answer that. Question is: What will you live off of after those 6 months? There is a chance that at every extension of stay or every new entry into Thailand, that people would have to demonstrate that they still fulfill the underlying requirements (i.e. still having a remote source of income).

The DTV 500.000 baht requirement could be a problem for some.

You need to check what the requirements are from the Thai embassy in London to see if you would even qualify for the DTV.
