Hello, my Wife and I live in Canada and wish to move to Thailand in Jan 2026. We wish to apply for DTV under the Remote worker category.
Most likely, my wife is going to be the main applicant, while I will be applying as a dependent. The question we had was about the 3-month payslips that we have to show.
Current situation: My wife currently works at a Director level in a University in Canada. She wishes to quit this job by Dec 2025 before we travel to Thailand in Jan 2026. lets say we apply for DTV around Nov 2025, do we submit payslips from this Canadian University?
Future situation: By Oct 2025, she is also expecting to receive a job offer from a Univertsity in Malaysia, where her role will be of an adjunct faculty working remotely from thailand. Her offer letter can state this too. The catch is, although she will get the new job offer by Oct 2025, she doesnt wish to take up any teaching assignments until Jan 2027. We wish to travel thailand from Jan 2026 to Jan 2027(taking a gap year).
Question: When required to submit 3 months' payslips, does she have to provide them from the current job in Canada, or will the embassy expect to see payslips from the new Malaysian university?
Any suggestions in this regard is much appreciated.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the appropriate payslips to submit for a Thailand DTV visa application under the remote worker category. Specifically, they want to know if they should provide payslips from the wife's current Canadian job, which she will quit by December 2025, or from a new position she expects to hold with a Malaysian university starting in late 2025, despite not performing any teaching duties until January 2027. There are concerns regarding demonstrating her remote work status and ensuring compliance with visa requirements.
