DTV approved.

No contact of employment, a letter I wrote and my 2023 tax records is all I uploaded.

Not sure of this is the first confirmed DTV ??

People there is a misunderstanding on this visa

It is an EMPLOYMENT PROHIBITED visa category

That means you can work remotely for your company abroad HERE, you can do what ever it is you do for your employer while you're here.

BUT

you cannot work IN thailand for a thai company or generate money inside the country on this visa
