Hi everyone,

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!
