@Dan *******

I think a company registration in your name will do.

@Jean-Maurice *******

Screenshot won’t do. It needs to be an actual bank statement with your name on it.

@Kurt ****

We don’t know yet if the DTV will be available outside to your country of nationality or at least residence. The next days will tell if it will be possible to just go to one of Thailands neighboring countries or not.

@Michael *******

It is illegal to work without a work permit. But a work permit is only available when working for a Thai registered company or a foreign company registered in Thailand. There is no work permit for working remotely for a company abroad. Thus, the charge of working without a required work permit (which would be the offense) cannot be applied. Theory aside: There is hundreds of co-working spaces with tens of thousands of people doing remote work in Thailand. If it were illegal, it would be easy to pursue. Yet, not a single case is known. From my understanding it is just an unregulated gap in Thai law. Gray area.

I ran a (specialized) Thai visa group once. During COVID, helping people who were trying to get back to their lives or partners in Thailand. Now I just help out this and other groups as best as I can and have spare time. But feel free to reach out to the admins or mods here.

@Tommy *******

I doubt there is any real experts on the DTV at this point - given how fresh and new it is. But I dove into both the LTR and this DTV as as deep as I could for now - out of my own needs and interests. If I can assist with anything specific, feel free to drop me a line.

@Tommy *******

Nope. Not an admin or mod of this group. Though I was considering offering my help to this group in such a role. But yes, I have plenty knowledge of visa, Thai bureaucracy, and digital work. How can I help?

In theory, yes. But I personally would not risk that. I would go a few days early - just in case. In most cases it works fine - but at some (land) borders cases were reported where they made people stay a night.

It was never technically illegal to "administer" some business back home (while on vacation 😉) - nor ever pursued in Thailand. You will be fine as long as you don't work serving anything or anyone in Thailand. You can swap to DTV in September, then, if you wish.

@Sabine ********

If you do that once, you will be fine. But if you try to do that several times in a short amount of time (especially when staying close to the full 60 days each), problens when trying to cross the border can occur.
