I am looking for someone to assist me with applying for a long term visa. I would be working remotely from Koh Samui

Answer summary

For long-term remote work in Koh Samui, the best options are the LTR (Long Term Resident) Work From Thailand Professional visa, which has stringent criteria for both the applicant and their employer, and the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) workation option, which cannot be applied for while in Thailand. It's advised to check the consulate's website for specific eligibility requirements and application processes.

To work remotely you only have 2 options

The LTR Work From Thailand Professional which is the best option but the criteria both you and the company you work for must meet is quite challenging, or

The DTV workation option which you can't apply for inside Thailand. Look at the criteria on the website of the consulate you will use, meet it and apply
