Hello, I would like to apply for the DTV online, from Italy for the category workcation (remote worker).

I work as a professor at university and I can work remotely, apart from the months I have teaching duties in Italy. 

I have a few questions related to the employment contract. Beside the fact the contract has to be in English, should it be authenticated by the Thai embassy? Should it explicitly mention that I can work remotely?

Thank you very much in advance to anyone that will help me.

No authentication needed. You just submit everything online. Visa is issued electronically. Good luck!

I have another related question: should I submit both employment contract and employment certificate (I don’t really understand the difference)?

Yes, it needs to say you can work remotely. Some embassies want it to explicitly state “Thailand”. If applying via the consulate in Italy, they may accept documents in Italian. You need to contact them
