Title: DTV Work Proof Question – Employer Letter vs Contract

Hi everyone, quick question about the DTV work documentation:

I submitted an employment verification letter from my employer stating I’m a regular employee (I’ve been with the company since 2019). The letter includes my job details and is signed by a company officer. I can also provide recent paystubs, and I’m listed on the company website.

Is an employer letter + paystubs usually enough for DTV approval, or do they require an actual signed employment contract?

Thanks in advance.
Answer summary
The user is asking whether an employment verification letter and recent paystubs are sufficient for DTV approval, or if a signed employment contract is necessary. The comments suggest that while an employer letter and paystubs may be acceptable, additional confirmation from the employer regarding remote work permissions could also be required, especially depending on the embassy or consulate. Furthermore, there are indications that documentation requirements may vary based on the size and recognition of the employer.

Mine was approved with a letter like that. Mind my company is the top company in the sector in the country I applied at. I say this because I've heard that if it's a small or less know company, they can ask more documents such as the business registration, tax records, etc., just to verify that the company does exist.

They'll likely also need confirmation from your employer that they are happy with you working remotely from Thailand and that you will have no interaction with Thai entities or clients inside Thailand

Most likely they will want documentation that your employer allows you to work remotely from Thailand

Depends on the Embassy or Consulate. One thing that you didn’t mention that may be requested is a line in the letter stating that you may work remotely from Thailand or anywhere in the world as some consular offices want to see that explicitly.
