Hi all,

I’m on a Thai dependent visa, so I know I cannot work in Thailand.

My question is: if I keep my Thai dependent visa but work remotely for clients from EU, while temporarily staying in neighboring countries like Vietnam and Laos (typically on tourist visas, about 2 months each), are there likely to be immigration issues in those countries or when I return to Thailand?

I’m asking because I’ll eventually need to switch to a DTV and will need to show income from those months.

Has anyone here had experience with this situation?

Thanks a lot for your help!

I am new here, so maybe something similar to my question is asked before...

I wanna get a DTV visa. From my work they wont allow to work abroad. I can get unpaid leave.

But i own 3 buildings which i rent out. Besides that i do some financial business (giving loans) on personal base, no company. Is this enough to get a DTV visa?

Appreciate your reactions
