What happens to my DTV if I lose my employment in Thailand?
If i have a DTV because of my employment, and then loose the employment. Can i loose my DTV? If the immigration founds out?
Answer summary
The concern is whether losing employment impacts your DTV status due to the potential need for proof of employment during immigration checks. Current insights suggest that while immigration officers may not ask for proof upon entry, they could request it during visa extensions. There is no definitive answer on whether losing a job will lead to cancellation of the DTV, but having no consistent proof of employment may pose risks during checks.

I was accepted with 0-160hours/month contract so I dont think they require it? Why else would they accept 0hour contract? They did ask for latest payslips tho... but they kind of accepted me doing 0hours?

@Toni ******
Zero hour contract is still a contract of employment and increasingly common. You have a contract of employment, if no employment contract at all then immigration very likely see it differentlyToni *******
@Andi **********
yea what i meant was, he still has the contract which most likely has no end date... so what would they ask 🤔Andi ***********
@Toni ******
ok, I see what you mean. A contract with no end date would suffice.Andi ***********
If you are questioned by immigration and can not provide proof of remote employment, yes they could cancel your DTV. IOs are not currently requesting proof of employment on arrival only when you extend at an immigration office.

You could just make something up. It's remote employment, they can't verify anything from abroad.

does this mean exiting and re-entering is safer than attempting to extend?

Absolutely 💯

@Ryan *******
extending in the country if you can find anywhere that will do it requires all the original all proof so yes, you will likely be refused an extension.At a border there is a low chance you could be pulled aside and questioned. I dont think we've had any reliable reports of it.
