TLDR : Answer Summary

To communicate your approval to work remotely from Thailand for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV), as the owner of your UK company, you should write a letter to yourself stating your permission to work remotely in Thailand. Additionally, it is recommended to provide a certificate of employment and a formal letter detailing the situation, including how, what, when, where, and why you are working remotely. This documentation is necessary for the Thai Embassy to process your DTV application.

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

You write yourself a certificate of employment, this is what is asked for by the Embassy, you also write a formal letter addressed to them explaining every detail as to how, what, when, where and why.

By Certificate of Employment do you mean and "Employment Contract"?

no, it's exactly what they ask for, so you write yourself a certificate of employment.

I Joe blogs hearby certifies that I .... its similar but in legal terms your signing to certify. No harm in giving yourself a contract as well if you feel to do so.

I am English and have never ever had a "Certificate of Employment" in my many jobs there. Plenty of Employment Contracts though. My last job in UK was 2002 so maybe things have changed since then :-)

likewise, have to get your head around it, that's what they ask for. They have asked others who are employed and the HR will write it.

What you stated is exactly what I told him to write and what friends used. Just never used a formal term such as Certificate of Employment. It is not a legally mandated document in the UK a quick Google told me. I have heard the term used elsewhere though

I don't normally reply to anonymous posts, only just spotted it, don't understand the reason to be anonymous when you want something 🤔

As the Owner/Director/Employer you write a letter to yourself as employee stating that you are allowed to work remotely and specifically state Thailand. That is exactly what people I personally know did to obtain DTV from UK Thai Embassy.
