What employment certificate format is required for a Digital Nomad Visa in Thailand?
Hi everyone
Just wondering if anyone can share an example of the employment certificate or letter of employment they used for DTV.
I have been employed for many years with my employer.
Remote worker
To cover this off no dramas
Requested documents may include the following: employment certificate or contract indicating that the applicant can work full-time remotely (not required to be physically present in a fixed workplace), portfolio showing the applicant's works, digital assets or social media accounts and business registration showing the applicant as an executive of the company.

Does anyone know if they will actually contact your employer to check? (Applying for DTV in the Netherlands)

Being to close to other applicants provided documentation may backfire on the copycat.

Hi, I originally sent my employment contract but it was missing the information about "full time remote work" so the thaievisa application requested for a company letter
HR advised that I could get my boss to just write an email however when I submitted that, thaievisa came back saying it needed to be a letter with a chop stating "Full time, Remote work"
what I did was created the template and sent it to my company, they vetted the wording, put it on a company letterhead
afterwards we uploaded the letter via Docusign where my manager could put an e-signature and HR could put a stamp chop
all of those were done digitally since everyone I work with are in different locations
if you google "letter from employee on remote work full time" you'll see some samples
if you want help with writing out the letter, start with some recommendations from chatgpt on the letter format and then change it around to what makes sense for you

@Zarene *******
thank you. Did they actually call your employer to check? Or is letter enough?Hiram ********
@Zarene *******
thank you! This helps a lot.Zarene ********
yeah that’s pretty much what I had, I’d just state there the word “Full time”
I know that portion “they do not require to attend the office” seems pretty clear
but on their comments to me it said stating “Full Time Remote worker”
I suppose technically the latter doesn’t leave room for interpretation, whereas the one above could still technically suggest otherwise
I also input in the signature the name and title of the person who wrote the letter
including their location
For example:
INSERT SIGNATURE
Sam Smith, Managing Director
Company name, country

OP@Zarene *******
how long did your application take from application to approval and received visaToni ********
OP@Zarene *******
ThankyouZarene ********
@Toni *******
No worries, btw I also applied in Hk through Thai evisa, I noticed you mentioned that’s where you were applyingI found they were quite strict about showing proof of full time remote work portion
basically they just want all the information you claim, to be vetted with official documentation
Toni ********
OP@Zarene *******
yes I do so the 2 combined will be suffice I hope 🤞Zarene ********
@Toni *******
no worries yeah my employment contract was also from over 5 years ago 😅 seems like you and I have a similar situationToni ********
OP@Zarene *******
ok great wonderful will submit my employment confirmation and employment contact It’s quite old as I’ve been there since 2018
Thankyou so much for sharing
Zarene ********
@Toni *******
i submitted the application on the website and after 3 days I received request for other documents 1. Employment contract
2. the letter stating remote work
I replied on the same day sending them
1. employment contract (the signed version)
2. email from my manager (as recommended by HR)
response was another 3 days stating they needed an official letter, now stating I could “work remotely, full time”
submitted the official letter, and received the approval in 2 days
they’ll attach the visa on the approval email
so roughly 8 working days/1.5 weeks
I didn’t provide payslips, but as I mentioned they requested my employment contract
Toni ********
OP@Zarene *******
How many days did your visa take to be approvedAnd did you provide payslips to? Or just the letter with correct information remote worker etc
Toni ********
OP@Zarene *******
Thankyou I have my letter now
On a company letterhead
Job Title - and remote work agreement noted
Full time 38 hours per week
And my company has stated they do not require me to attend the office to complete work
Additionally they also stated they support my request for dtv

Up
John *******
Mine stated my name, title, salary and ability to work remotely
Erica ********
I followed a sample from the internet. It should bear a corporate letterhead, your name, passport number, title/role and stating "Remote Worker/ Freelancer", corporate stamp and signed by HR or director. (Disclaimer: This worked for me in Jakarta, I can't guarantee for other Embassies.)
