I am my own UK company owner and employer. How do  i communicate approval for myself to work remotely from Thailand for purposes of the DTV?

Answer summary

As a UK company owner looking to work remotely from Thailand for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa), you can formalize your approval by drafting a letter to yourself as your employer. This letter should explicitly state that you are permitted to work remotely from Thailand. Additionally, creating a certificate of employment and a detailed formal letter to the Thai Embassy outlining the nature of your work, including how and why you are doing it, will help support your application. You may also want to write an employment contract that specifies your place of work as online and includes your permissions for remote work from abroad.

Write yourself an employment contract and ensure you put in, and highlight, a specific sections that says your work place is online and you have permission from the business to work remotely from any country, on the provision you obey the laws of your current country

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.

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.

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

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.

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 :-)

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.

Yes, me too. I also specified that i will not be paid in Thailand and that all ”salary” will be outside of Thailand.
