I just got my DTV visa approved. Thanks for the help provided 😉
The visa has a remark: Employment Prohibited.
Is this a general remark on all DTV? And what does it mean?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The remark 'Employment Prohibited' on a DTV visa means that visa holders are not allowed to work for any Thai or international companies based in Thailand. However, they can engage in online work for clients outside of Thailand. This is a standard condition for DTV visa holders, and it is important for newcomers to be aware of these restrictions before applying.
It means you can’t be an employee of any business within Thai (Thai/international companies) under DTV .

It is the general comment on a DTV. You cannot work in Thailand, but you can work online for non Thai firms/customers.
It is a bit confusing, I was surprised when I first saw it. Anyway enjoy being a DTVer!

Did you apply for the DTV visa for a WORKCATION ?
If you did, you can conduct your digital nomad services with clients OUTSIDE of THAILAND... 🚫 Not with anyone inside Thailand.

Thank You for your helpful report 👍
Congratulations 👏👏👏
PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.
That's what you should do... print it out.
You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.
Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

It means exactly that.
You are not allowed to work for anyone in Thailand.
