ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Losing your job while on a 5-year DTV visa in Thailand does not immediately jeopardize your visa status. Current insights suggest that as long as you met the visa requirements at the time of application, your visa remains valid until its expiration. However, issues may arise when attempting to extend your visa within Thailand, as authorities may require proof of employment. It's generally advised to leave the country and re-enter to obtain a new stamp instead of extending within Thailand. Despite these reassurances, the expanding challenges of securing remote work may complicate your personal situation.
