Just landed in BKK on a fresh DTV, received in Jakarta as a freelancer. I was asked by immigration what I did and asked to show proof of my work. I had to pull out my computer and walk the agent through some of my published work while explaining my career. She then asked me why I was applying in Jakarta and not in my home country.

My recommendation is to keep the documents you apply with handy upon arrival in Thailand, perhaps in a folder always accessible on your mobile.

For context, I have spent time in Thailand d and do have a couple of visa exempt entires.

Hope this is helpful to those that I have seen asking if this is happening.

Stupid question maybe, but if you’re closing deals and getting money sent to you while you’re in Thailand, this is all okay as long as you’re on DTV visa or getting paid in your western countries bank account? What’s considered working in Thailand Vs not?

Let’s at you sell products online or subscriptions to courses.

Isn’t that considered working in the country?

Hey All, I'm a flight attendant seeking to move to Bangkok. can I apply for the visa from the states? I need to go back and forth every 3 weeks , would that alarm immigration?

Would it be possible to get a Muay Thai visa, pay for the course, and then still do some work online while we are in Thailand? Does the visa specifically state it is for work or for play or study, and if we work at the same time would we get in trouble? Or do all the visas look the same? I may want to work to fund my life in Thailand as I study at the same time? Thanks.

Has anybody applied for the DTV after having already been working remotely in Thailand but on the visa exemption?

I’m planning on moving to Thailand and rent for a year, (next March) I work away for 3 weeks then back to Thailand for 3 weeks, do I still need a visa ? Any help much appreciated

Looking for advice on which visa would be best for me. I'm returning to Thailand for a TEFL/CELTA training mid November in Bangkok. Is a tourist visa sufficient? I'll also be looking for work afterwards and possibly relocating. I'm a software developer that will be teaching english tech classes hopefully. Any advice?

One maybe stupid question, when i ask for the DTV Visa it allows the max. of 180 days to stay and work each year as a digital nomad. My company allow normally a max of 5 weeks = around 42 days. Should that a problem?
