Either one is fine for remote work in that sense. Neither are work authorized for Thailand. Remote work is permitted though.

@Pedro ******

Yes correct. Both are employment prohibited for Thailand but remote work is OK in either case.

@Richard *******

Online work is fine same as the conditions for a DTV. Absolutely no difference.

@Neil ****

Nonsense. You've just made that up. Both visas have a "employment prohibited" disclaimer. There's no difference between the two in that respect. A DTV is merely being promoted as being suitable for remote work, but a retirement visa will allow the same.

@My **********************************

Actualy it isn't.

@Pete ******

That's not true. It depends on the office. Some give 2 years, some 5 years.

YES if you already have a 5 year Thai license.

@Henrik ****

Unlikely and not a big deal. It's not a competition to get past immigration. You're not going to win any awards for doing so and no one cares.

Also immigration processing these days doesn't take nearly as long as it once did. Everything has improved in terms of efficiency.

You should always point out your visa or checkin will normally check your passport for your visa prior to asking for a ticket out anyway.

I'm in a group with let's just say "important" people responsible for 2 of the 7 international border crossings with Cambodia and also have connections with a Cambodian customs agent. If any one of these people are informed as to when it will reopen (I think they'll be given a heads up a few days before the general public) then I will be the first to know.
