Worcation DTV Just Approved, 2 Questions

I just received the approval for my DTV application (took 2 months) for remote working. On the E-Visa which I received it says:

"Remarks: Employment Prohibited"

What does that mean? Only local employment? What about remote work?

Also: I am currently in Thailand on a standard tourist visa. How to switch to the DTV? Can it be done here (e.g., in an immigration office)?

Many thanks.

Many times it have been said here that working as digital nomad without a DTV, meaning on a visa waiver is not legal. Embassies tend to differ, I think, but I just found this news piece today, any thoughts?

Does anyone know where job postings are online? I know someone who is looking to work as a nanny.

Can someone help me understand. The visa says “work prohibited” but what about when you apply as a remote worker as someone who works online. Obviously you can’t get a new job or start up a business there but are you still allowed to work in Thailand for your UK company? I’m just trying to make it make sense.

Hi everyone! 👋

I have a question about visa for Filipino helpers. I understand that they’re not allowed to work as domestic helpers in Thailand, is that true? Any way to work around that? Thank you 🙏

I want to open a Indian restaurant in Bangkok. 1) Can I bring in a cook (not chef) from india/nepal to work in a restaurant in Bangkok on contract? 2) Or do they need to show cooking course certificates. 3) Or only chefs (not cook) are permitted to come and work? 4) Or is this occupation reserved for locals only? Pls advice. Thanks.
