DTV Visa Remote Work Visa Thai Visa Application Independent Contractor Visa Visa Requirements Expats in Thailand Work Permit Bank Account Requirements

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey everyone!

I’m currently on a work visa in Bangkok, but I’ve just landed a full-remote independent contractor role with a US company and I’m planning to switch over.

My plan is to apply for a DTV visa from my home country. I already have over 500K THB in my KBank account, and I’ll be showing my contract (which lists my Thailand address with the US company).

Does anyone know if I need to provide any additional documents when applying, or have any suggestions from similar experience?
