People have crossed land borders for as long as it has taken them to be processed out of Thailand. In and out of the neighbouring countries and back into Thailand.

I do think the MFA should be responsible for telling people their responsibilities when they issue the visa. Immigration do when obtaining a visa at the office. You actually sign off to acknowledge things and that you understand penalties for overstay etc. In the case of DTV I think the MFA are remiss here. When could or should Immigration tell DTV holders?

It is part of Immigration Law and has been ratified in the Royal Gazette 🙂

@Mark *******

I think you will find it is law and has also been published in the Royal Gazette

@Mark *******

Is it policy, law or a ministerial requirement? Can you show any definitive links for clarity?

People have written to themselves as employees from themselves as Directors of the company authorising remote work from Thailand. The company stamp, seal or "Chop" is pretty much an Asian thing these days.

Anonymous participant 298 It is required for DTV holders. Just because the MFA are amiss in not informing people at issue does not negate that fact.

In practice absolutely nothing will happen. You will not even be fined when departing. Get well soon.

Congrats and that is a great write up for others. Brilliant info.
