Advice please.

DTV workation from uk.

My work contract doesn’t specify work location.

I’ve asked my employer about changing it but they have asked, can they not do me an official letter instead. They’ll write what I need.

If they confirm my employment. Years service. Current salary.

Say work is done remotely from home or abroad ( including Thailand) is fine.

Anyone successfully done this? Any tips on what should be included?

TIA

The London embassy specifically asked for a letter from my employer saying I could work from Thailand. After I supplied that along with a flight ticket I was approved

Thailand should be specifically stated as a remote location, even if the document states anywhere or globally etc.

Just write a cover letter stating that you are employed and u are allowed to work from remote in particular from Thailand. Print it out and bring it to your boss asking for sign and stamp.

Much better to let the boss write it himself, with company letterhead and eventually with stamps.

I asked my boss if she could do that and she replied it was ok. I had waited for a month till I did what I wrote above and got it done in 10seconds. I really don't understand what the difference would be, as soon as it's signed there won't be any difference 🙄🙄🙄
