Hi. I have a rather urgent question. I'm already on DTV under workcation. I'm an employee for a US company. So my application that I submitted to the Thai Embassy included my employment contract and also the authorization letter from my boss. And so Thailand therefore has the name of the company I work for on record. Having worked in Thailand as an employee of a US company, could the Thai Revenue Department argue that the company has a Permanent Establishment (PE) in Thailand and therefore will want to go after them for payment of any Thai corporate income taxes?

DTV question. If a company based in Japan were to hire me to attend events in SE Asia on their behalf, including public appearances in Bangkok, would this be allowed as per DTV guidelines around working in Thailand?

DTV Aprroved 🎉

Where: Jakarta

October 8th (applied for workation)

October 17th (requested contract signed & stamped)

October 20th (resubmitted contract with cover letter explaining that the company doesn't do this along with more proof that it is indeed a real company that hires independent contractors & more proof I'm one them)

October 21st: Aprroved 🎉

Finally got approved guys. Thought I would give you a write up since I had a lot of support from this group. Uk passport. Remote worker route via HCMC.

Documents provided - I used ISSA compass who are slow in getting back to you but they obviously know what they are doing. I uploaded all documents required to there portal. 6 months bank statements showing twice the required balance for 2 months. 6 months payslips. Employment contract and certificate with busienss registrstion. My advice would be to use them but let them get on with it I hassled them far too much 😂. 10 working days.

Good luck to you all!!!

so dtv is made for Digital nomad tourists, not for married or mothers/fathers of thai children? true?

Okay I feel seriously overwhelmed trying to sort this all out. I have a family of 4 - myself I’m almost 50, wife is 37, kids are 15 and 18. I primarily make my income off of investing on the OTC and a very small trust check monthly as well. My trading account tends to have $100k or more liquid and $200-400k in play. We own a home in the US we plan to rent out while we aren’t there.

What is the best, simplest method to live in Thailand for 6-12 months at a time leaving to either another country or back to the US for a few weeks to a month or so annually?

My daughter being 18 would like to work there but my 15 year old will be continuing digital classes via a US school. I will continue to randomly swing trade while the wife will not work.

Best visa course of action with the process to get it done for a person who hates paperwork and really isn’t too great with crossing t’s and dotting i’s 😂

Please I want to relocate to Thailand and start working I have never been there and I don't know anyone please what type of Visa should I apply for and what should I know more please be honest

I have a DTV visa. (Digital nomad). My work is around the world. I understand with this visa that means I cannot be an employee of any Thai companies. However, If undertaking my own work am I permitted to provide my services to a Thai client and bill them from my home country? Is that acceptable with this kind of visa? Typically consulting assignments are short term.

Hi everyone,

I'm from Germany and I've been looking for a way to get the DTV visa for Thailand for quite a while now. Unfortunately, it's pretty difficult to find remote jobs here in Germany that meet the visa requirements or allow working in Thailand legally.

I'm really curious:

What kind of jobs do you have that qualified you for the DTV visa?

Does anyone know of any German companies that offer remote work in Thailand for the DTV visa?

# I would give anything to get this visa. If anyone needs an employee, I'm here.

I’d really appreciate any tips or insights.

Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany! 🙏

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to apply for a DTV workation in Hanoï in the next few days.

Here is the rationale: I have spent the last 9 months in Thailand doing pretty much nothing, travelling and diving, and catching up with my friends (I used to work in Bkk for 3 years with work permit).

I do have a french company that I have opened last year but never used it.

I want to start my activities now online but have no history.

For all I read, you all had a legitimate business before requesting DTV, so I'm a bit concerned.

All advices will be much appreciated 🙂

Thank you 🙏
