TLDR : Answer Summary

The 'Digital Work Permit' refers to a modern implementation where individuals holding certain Long-Term Resident (LTR) visas in Thailand, excluding remote worker categories, are eligible to work legally. This permit is sponsored by a local employer and is issued in a digital format rather than traditional paper.

LONG TERM RESIDENT (LTR) VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic Long Term Resident (LTR) Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Long Term Resident (LTR) Visa.
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
Explore recent discussions by using the Long Term Resident (LTR) Visa tag in the search box at the top of the page.
Join the Thai Visa Advice Facebook Group to ask your questions, and get advice from others.

That means if you have one of the LTRs that is not the remote worker category, you can get a job in Thailand and you can get a work permit sponsored by your Thai employer. The work permit will be digital, not a piece of paper.
