Yes others have done similar with property management etc. Just outline how it works in the covering letter making it very clear that the work is completely remote and you have ‘permission’ to work from Thailand
not deliberately perhaps but yes they do. It becomes apparent from the different things people are asked to provide at the same embassy eg seasoning times, payslips, parents info (weird) some soft powers approved and then not etc etc
I understand you don’t want to leave Thailand once you arrive but think of it this way
Would a US dentist commit to an extensive dental plan without a consultation with the patient.I don’t think so. So why would a dentist in Thailand agree without seeing you first 😀
