Hi everyone. I applied for my DTV visa as a freelancer and it just got approved but under remarks it says employment prohibited.

Anyone have a similar situation ?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The remark stating 'employment prohibited' on your DTV visa indicates that you are not allowed to work in Thailand under this visa. Many applicants report receiving the same remarks, as the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) is primarily intended for freelancing and tourism but does not permit direct employment.

Because DTV doesn’t allow for employment… it’s a tourist visa
