Are you currently receiving a salary from the online company or have a contract?
If not you will not get the visa or at least that is what I was told. I work(ed) for 1 but havent for 3 years so I dont have up to date proof of working for them and was told I would be denied on that basis

this is a teaching platform which I’m registered with and i work as a freelancer but they don’t employ me by contractWayne *******

OK so I was told by my teaching platform they could supply e-slips for proof of payment but only that. As I havent worked on that platform I dont have current or up to date payslips so would be denied. MAYBE if you are currently teaching for them and you supplied the slips you would be successful. Not sure if you are aware but the guidelines as I understand them if you are successful are that everything related must be outside Thailand. So the company you work for, the students you teach and the way you receive payment. So if its PayPal make sure your settings are set in a country outside Thailand as I made that error at 1 stage and it took me ages to rectify to access my wages!

@Michael *******
I did mean that people cannot work IN Thailand on a DTV , like they cannot teacj English IN Thailand on a DTVMichael ********
@Peter *****
yes but the specifically said online teaching lots of customers in China. Thailands not a big market for online lessonsStephan ***********
@Peter *****
Of course she can... that's what the DTV actually is made for...Peter ******
@Stephan **********
I did mean that you cannot work in Thailand on a DTV , I thought that would have been obviousPeter ******
@Stephan **********
But you cannot work in Thailand on a DTV though , you need a work visa to work in Thailand . Working online isn't working in ThailandStephan ***********
@Peter *****
Okay... nice try... 10 points for that. And I agree... I really don't need another wrong explanation from you. Have a good day... 🙏Peter ******
@Stephan **********
I do know, I am just having difficulty in explaining it to you . I have tried, really no point in trying to explain againStephan ***********
@Peter *****
Okay... I give up... you just don't get it... 😁P.S.: Maybe you could ask the Immigration if it's legal to work "remotely" from Thailand without a DTV (or a Work permit)... you might be surprised about the answer... 😏🙃

@Stephan **********
No, they cannot work in Thailand , they can work remotely online thoughStephan ***********
@Peter *****
It's still wrong what you say... the DTV is for people who want to work here... but... not in a Thai company or with Thai customers. Remote work for a foreign company is legal now with this visa, that's the big difference to before.Monika **********
OP@Stephan **********
yes I just wanted to say, that’s the purpose of this visa
