I’ve been reading a lot of posts lately, and it seems like everyone’s talking about contracts.

As a freelancer working with an online company, I keep wondering—how does the idea of a contract apply to someone like me?

I do have proof of my work:

• My profile on the platform

• Screenshots of the website where I work

• Financial transfers and payment history

But there’s no official written contract between me and the company.

Is having a contract a must in freelancing?

Or are there other valid ways to prove work relationships and protect your rights?

Would love to hear thoughts from fellow freelancers or legal experts in the space.

Hello everyone

I applied for the DTV (Departmental Tax Return) as an online worker on Preply. I'm being asked for additional documents, including my most recent tax return. It turns out I don't have this document, and my income from last year isn't significant because I started my online job a few months ago. What can I do please?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Does anyone know how long you need to be working online, to apply for the DTV? For example, are 3 months of back payment from the company needed when submitting your bank statements?

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.

Hi, I’m from Myanmar. But I live in Thailand with TR visa. I’m a makeup artist which is freelance job. I want to know if I apply DTV visa for me, what I should prepare paper documents. Because I never work with any company. So I do not have recommendation letter . If need, how can I try ?

Can you guys give me suggestions?

Thank you all.

Is it possible to change my non b to a non o in Thailand. We are both teachers but I would like to resign so that I can focus on working online.

Thanks in advance 😉

Hi there!

Wondering if anyone can help. I have a BA but my boyfriend doesn’t and we want to explore options of moving to Thailand at least for a year ish. Does anyone know where I can find reputable agents for example, to classify him as a ‘classroom assistant’ instead of a teacher - or other job opportunities within other sectors for him? Or able to work on a Muay Thai visa - where to find opportunities for that?

I tried to research online but I’ve only found pretty vague information.

He’s got PT qualifications and a sports therapy degree but not at BA level.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT Questions answered thank you! Most likely he will live off savings. 🙂

Hi everyone....

Probably asking for what everyone dreams of, but does anyone on this group have any experience finding online work from UK that I could do from Thailand? Visited many times and have a Thai partner, but UK is cold and horrible so would much prefer to be in the land of smiles than here.

Thanks in advance

How can I work remotely in Thailand I want to stay for 4 months and do my work. I’m from South Africa and have a job I want to stay in Thailand and do my work?

Alright, I'm an American and have been in Thailand for 3 years... I have had non immigrant O, but mostly just somehow surviving on a tourist visas. Im too young for a retirement visa, and I am not independantly wealthy.

I have a dream of marrying my Thai girlfriend and living most of our days here together (I wouldn't want to even ask her to leave her family whome she loves very much). How can I do this? I can and have taught English online, and I'm a professional graphic designer with 20+ years of experience.

If I can work online, all my money is and will be spent here in Thailand. Is there a way to do this legally or do I just have to live in the Grey area for the rest of my life wondering if I will be torn from the one place I call home?

Can a marriage visa allow me to work legally online? Or to play out any of our entrepreneurial ideas? There's so much information on this forum and in the webs, but am struggling to find a direct answer to this question. I would love to live a life without fear, and without breaking any laws.
