TLDR : Answer Summary

A user has received approval for a DTV visa, having submitted a personal letter and tax records without an employment contract. The discussion clarifies that the DTV visa is an employment prohibited category; holders can work remotely for foreign employers but cannot take jobs with Thai companies or earn money within Thailand. Further questions arise about the nature of the user's application letter, highlighting the importance of proper documentation in the visa process.

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
