Are the requirements for the DTV visa becoming tougher at Thai consulates?

Frank-Steven ***********

Most consulates actually do that and require explicit mention of remote work / permission to work from Thailand.

Frank-Steven ***********

Requiring a 6 months lease before even getting the visa I find rather strict and ridiculous. Sounds like a made up requirement, too, as nothing of the sort mentioned in the law.

Is a non-compete clause enforceable in Thailand after resigning from a job?

Frank-Steven ***********

In more legally mature countries, a non-compete clause would only be allowed in conjunction with adequate paid compensation for the duration of the clause - i.e. getting paid even after the work was terminated. That is why it isn’t all too often used in the west. No idea if Thailand had such kind of protection of the individual in mind.

Has anyone heard of DTV visa application failures?

Frank-Steven ***********

It is really not often they reject a visa. In most cases, when in doubt, they just request additional / different documents and don’t just reject an application.

@Denise *******

Wenn Ihr in Malaysia beantragt, dann werdet ihr wohl beglaubigte Übersetzungen benötigen. Ich würde es eher riskieren es über ein Konsulat in Deutschland zu probieren - wenn ihr dort noch gemeldet seid.
