Hello 😊

I've got a question about the wording for the DTV Visa.

My company says "Workation" instead of remote work. So they will write "we will allow workation in Thailand" on my additional contract. 

Does anybody know, if there will be a problem, if the company allows me workation, instead of remote? 

Thank you in advance!

Should be no problem as workcation means working remotely while travelling. My company wrote "continued to be employed under the Workcation DTV".
