Hi all,

The Thai Embassy has returned with a request for more information:

A letter explaining how I will work remotely while in Thailand?

Does this mean I just need to make an "official" letter myself. Explaining I will work out of a co-working space from my laptop? Any more details needed?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The Thai Embassy has requested more information regarding your remote work. It appears you need to draft an official letter outlining how you will work in Thailand, including where you will work (e.g., co-working space) and the nature of your online tasks. Additional suggestions include detailing your work to avoid any confusion with Thai businesses and potentially including a portfolio of your work.

Send a portfolio with pictures a bit like a PowerPoint presentation, shrink it down to the 3mb and hopefully they will except that as I did it.

And state specifically that you won't engage with any Thai customers or businesses.

You have to write a cover letter to explain how you work remotely and sign it.
