correct. It all just seems rushed through without 100% completing and ticking every box!

I can’t see them forbidding those that applied with soft power originally to then get work some time during those 5 years, as long as it meets all the rules and criteria for DTV.

I know Thailand is cheaper compared to the likes of UK, but the money will run out one day… especially as most of it is spent on snacks in 😂

I was asked in my 1-1 interview how I would support myself if I didn’t have a remote job. I told them that I am living off my savings (and explained to them how I had got to the level of savings that I have). I also provided evidence of a future incoming lump sum (from a medical payout) and explained currently I had no requirement to seek employment however, there will be a time when I have to and that I would follow the rules of the DTV when it was time to do so (I.e remote foreign work…). The interviewer said it was fine but I would have to get a work permit if working for a company operating within Thailand. They never mentioned anything about not being able to work remotely whilst under the soft power application!
