Yes, you can apply online, but there are conditions you need to read before applying for the visa 😅. There are also special warnings stating that you cannot apply from Thailand.

Wrong. Banks aren’t making special exemptions for people using agents. The method and process used to open such accounts go against the bank’s regulations. It’s not about government law. It’s about the bank’s directives. You could definitely get your account blocked at the very least.

And do the "good agents" help keep you from getting into trouble the day headquarters discovers it? Temporary luck may work until it doesn’t.

Anonymous participant As long as you’re honest and can demonstrate that you’re still working online for a foreign company, it shouldn’t be an issue. It’s unlikely they will require every single document.

You can't apply when in Thailand. Each embassy has its requirements when it comes to documents and certifications.

It does not qualify for DTV. Muay Thai or cooking class.

There are consequences of overly easy visas, like homelessness and illegal work. Applications are getting stricter, but will it be enough? These visas may be too general and not specific enough unfortunately.

Not a great idea, even for 1–2 days “only,” since you’ll be fined and flagged (not banned) anyway. As many suggest, leave now and come back before your meeting. Kind reminder: you’re not allowed to work with customers in Thailand (even foreigners). Online meetings can be conducted from anywhere.
