Hey, y'all, I have another question. PLEASE don't respond with your opinions of me and my choices. Please only respond with truly helpful and knowledgeable visa related advice.

I have found a job working remotely. And, that visa information is just as confusing as the teaching visas. Which visa will I use to be a remotely working employee of a US based company.

Answer summary

If you are working remotely for a US company while living in Thailand, you can apply for a Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) or a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV). Since your employment is based in the United States, you do not need to disclose this when applying for your visa at the Thai Embassy.

Just do a SETV or METV. You employment is in the United States, so no reason to even bring it up with Thai Embassy when applying
