What are the restrictions on digital work while holding a DTV visa in Thailand?
If I choose a DTV visa, are there any restrictions of the type of digital/online work I can do? I understand that I would need to work outside of any Thailand companies.
Answer summary
The DTV visa allows for remote work; however, it is crucial to avoid engaging in any online activities that could attract Thai customers or involve businesses prohibited in Thailand, such as gambling. Applicants must demonstrate an existing online business with clients outside of Thailand, and they cannot use the DTV visa to establish new business ventures or seek local customers.

You need to have an "exsisting" online bisiness, with customers outside thailand. A DTV visa isn't a license to start an online business, or look for opportunities/ customers

You must be able to do the work online remotely from Thailand,

I probably wouldn't apply doing work that isn't legal in Thailand, such as gambling.
