No, if you are working there must be a statement in a letter or contract that you can work remotely in Thailand/overseas.

When you are remote worker you need to have letter you work for the company and you can do your job remote.

When you organize to get a letter and contract from a company where you do not work, that just is fraud.

That is in breach of the rules and not worth the risk. Soft power option is easy if you have not got the work documentation.

It is much simpler if you are employed by a company. Very likely Hanoi would have asked you for similar to HCMC as a business owner.

makes me a bit worried. I saw quite a few people applying based on their own company without current income since income isn’t a requirement… but this makes me worried
