Hello, I need advice to help us determine best benefit between getting a DTV visa vs Thai Privilege Card. I heard that the Thai Privilege card also allows to work remotely from Thailand. Thank you 🙏
Summary so far
The conversation discusses the differences between the DTV visa and the Thai Privilege Card. It highlights the misconception that the Thai Privilege Card allows remote work, clarifying that it is more akin to a long-term tourist visa and does not permit such employment. Various commenters encourage seeking accurate information from official sources like the Thai embassy.
