I'm currently living in Thailand on a DTV visa and working for a company that pays me as a freelancer.
Since the company is not based in Thailand, they suggested I obtain a work permit through an Employer of Record (EOR) service. I'm assuming they would increase my wage accordingly so that my net salary isn't affected by the change.
I have a few questions:
Has anyone gone through this process?
Would you recommend it?
From what I understand, I would need to cancel my DTV visa, and I'm not sure whether having a work permit would offer significant benefits beyond things like opening a bank account. I'm also unsure if I’d be able to reapply for the DTV visa in the future if needed.
Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
I want to Bank in the land of smile to make life easier but there were more frustration than smiles. Yes, there are other method but you may be prone to Scam using hard cash plus there isn't a paper trial.
I live near On Nut and I read the banks in Big C may be more forgiving so I gave it a try and here is my experience.
I tried TTB, SCB, Bangkok Bank
I called TTB at Digital Park which about 1 month ago told me to try head office and they now said no.
I have the following docs and they didn't even ask or take a look at any of my docs. I tried the supposedly magic words "Remote Worker" they don't care. They ask what Visa and the moment they hear DTV. It's a No Can KAA! or You have work permit? No Can KAA!

DTV Remote Worker
I'm either going to try the True Money method with 20k limit
or use cash or wait until the whole banking thing cool down.
lmk if you know other method that would make life easier using QR.
Has anyone ever been asked to submit the passport of the person who signed their company’s remote work confirmation letter? I received this request, and my CEO is the one who signed my letter (with company letterhead). It’s completely unreasonable to ask for my boss’s personal information, and it’s highly unlikely I can even obtain it. I explained this to the embassy when submitting the documents, as well as through emails and calls, but I’ve received no response. They ended up rejecting my application and cited the reason as “suspected forged documents.” This is absolutely ridiculous—everything I submitted is legitimate, and the only document I’m missing is my boss’s passport.
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.
Hello👋🏻 , m planning my first ever trip to thailand where i would preferably stay for a year at least as a remote worker ( I don’t make 2700$/month for a DTV ) , should i just go visa free for 90 days then leave and get a 90 visa for a total of 6 months ? Is there any better options ? I heard people take muai thai classes for a full year visa. Any help would be much appreciated 🙏🏻
I have a question and I hope someone in thr group has had a similar situation. My daughter, granddaughter, and myself are moving to Bangkok next month. I do not work, but am in school wrapping up my Masters and plan to teach. My daughter does work and is also wrapping up her Masters. My grandbaby is only 3. I am her other primary parent since my sil was murdered before she was born.
With that said, can we apply for a family dtv using her work and my savings? If so, do we each need to have 500k baht in the bank? Can she still be listed as a dependent at 32? Can I be her dependent?...not sure which route to go since she has the jon, but I have the funds
Looks like might be getting a job where I can work from my laptop and not go to the office ever, I want to move to Thailand (have British passport). Am not yet 50, is there any visa I can do this with?
