DTV Visa ED Visa Visa Transition Thai Visa Requirements Remote Work in Thailand Bank Account Requirements Visa Application Process

ORIGINAL POSTER

I’m currently on ED plus visa. 

I intend to cancel it and try DTV as I recently get a remote job. 

I have sufficient amount for more than 3 months in my Thai bank account to meet the requirements. 

My concern is I will only have one month payslip as my contract just begins.

It might be seen as one month overlap with the ED plus and will have payslip for only one month.

I would really appreciate any advice on how to navigate this situation.
