You have to apply outside of Thailand. I went through Chicago and it too about 2 weeks depending on Thai holidays and any requested extra information.

@Kai *****

no you just have to show the money in your account. Doesn't have to be a Thai bank accout.

If you extend you will probably be asked to show that you still have it. You might be asked to show proof anytime you go through immigration.

Probably not at the airport, but they can if bored or just don't like you. Just like the 20k cash they can ask you to show.

They are cracking down more and more and the DTV is under more scrutiny. Pretty sure being caught no longer qualifying is going to lead to a bad day and possible ban. Is the risk worth it to you?

I got asked for a copy of my resume and letter from my company saying I was a remote worker.

these posts are great for figuring out who to block.

You do realize that this post is exactly what you are complaining about right? Doesn’t help anyone and belittles others.

@Stephen *******

sorry you said you had been here for four months….just wondering.

@Daren ********

thank you for explaining. Most other offices require it, unless they don’t that day. lol

I am wondering how he did his 90 day reporting without the tm30. Lol

You can get paid from work done before you moved. But once you move any additional work would need a permit.

Proper way would be to setup a Thai company and get a work permit via that. Not sure what your original country of origin is but if US check out the treaty of amity, it gets rid of a lot of the downsides of having a Thai company as a non-thai.

And yes patching your product would count as work. Good things there are no bugs or issues with your product.

DTV wouldn't let you work in Thailand either. It lets you work remote for a company outside of the country not in country.
